Mrs Florence Yaakugh, the Taraba Coordinator, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Monday appealed to the Taraba Government and other stakeholders to prioritize the security and welfare of corps members in the state.

The coordinator commended security agents, camp officials, members of the Red Cross, medical personnel, the media among others for making the orientation course a success.
She told the corps members to make maximum use of the skills acquired on the camp in their service to the nation.
