Oborevwori Urges Support for Corps Members, Emphasizes Security and Development

By Anne Azuka

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has called on government agencies, traditional rulers, and other employers of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members to ensure they provide an enabling environment for the corps members to perform optimally.

Speaking on Tuesday during the closing ceremony of the 2024 Batch “C” Stream 1 Orientation Course at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Issele-Uku, Aniocha North Local Government Area, the governor, represented by the Commissioner for Youth Development, Barr. Trakiriowei ThankGod Harry, emphasized the need for collaboration to secure the welfare of corps members.

Call for Security and Integration

Governor Oborevwori urged local government personnel, security agencies, and community leaders to prioritize the safety and integration of corps members in their communities.

“Provide a peaceful and interactive atmosphere for these youths to fully integrate into your communities so they can contribute meaningfully to the development of Delta State,” he said.

He also encouraged the corps members to serve with diligence and commitment, noting the impact of their predecessors on the state.

“As you go into these communities, be worthy ambassadors of the NYSC. Strive to leave a lasting legacy that reflects the values of this scheme,” the governor advised.

Commitment to Development

Oborevwori reassured corps members that his administration remains committed to rewarding excellence and supporting initiatives that improve lives.

“The state will continue to fulfill its statutory responsibilities to the NYSC within available resources. We will also persist in renovating and enhancing the permanent orientation camp to ensure that corps members receive comprehensive training and induction,” he stated.

NYSC Coordinator Highlights Challenges

Earlier, the NYSC State Coordinator, Mr. John Kwaghe, expressed gratitude to the Delta State government for its ongoing support of the scheme but highlighted pressing challenges faced at the camp.

“The promise to provide a 150KVA generator to address the camp’s power supply issues is eagerly awaited, as the current generator is insufficient. Additionally, the perimeter fence at the back of the camp is weak and too low, posing security concerns,” he said.

Kwaghe noted that incidents during the orientation underscored the urgent need for improvements to the fence to ensure the safety of corps members.

Despite these challenges, he affirmed the NYSC’s dedication to promoting Delta State’s positive image through the activities of its corps members.
