The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has called on corps members across the country to sustain the spirit of patriotism, hard work and resilience through their service year and beyond.

The Bauchi state Coordinator of the scheme, Mrs Rifkatu Yakubu made the call on Tuesday during the closing ceremony for the 2024 Batch ‘A’ stream II orientation course at the permanent orientation camp in Wailo, Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the state.

She said this would enable them to strive to meet the expectations of Nigerians by contributing towards the progress and development of their fatherland.

“I wish to commend your patriotic zeal as demonstrated by your participation in camp activities and exhibition of high level of discipline.

“Your letters of posting to Places of Primary Assignment will be handed to you soon after this ceremony. In this regard, I would like to remind you of your oath of allegiance in which you pledged to accept posting in good faith.

“I enjoin you to perform your duties with diligence and be guided by the provisions of the NYSC Act and Bye-laws as well as workplace rules and regulations.

“In keeping with the objectives of the Scheme, you are expected to integrate into your host communities while also appreciating and respecting their cultures,” she said.

According to her, the scheme is liaising with financial institutions and other stakeholders with a view to providing start-up loans to enable the corps members actualise their business dreams.

She assured that the management would continue to explore avenues to optimise the impact of the NYSC ‘s programmes.

It could be recalled that 2,172 corps members were posted to the state for the 2024 Batch ‘A’ stream II service year.

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State has called on the 27 members of the State House of Assembly loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to immediately commence an impeachment process against Governor Siminlayi Fubara.

The State APC Caretaker Committee Chairman, Tony Okocha, made the call at a news briefing in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.

He said the Governor has continued to disrespect President Bola Tinubu by refusing to implement all the eight-point peace agreement reached in Abuja on the political crisis in the state, to which he appended his signature.

He further stated, “A state as crucial and all-important as Rivers State churned out a dunderhead. We cannot accept that. Our charge to the Assembly is to immediately commence an impeachment process against the Governor.

“And if they don’t do that there is what they call party discipline. We shall invoke the relevant section of the constitution.”
