The leadership of the National Youth Service Corps has met with the Nigeria Governor’s Forum in Abuja, calling for rehabilitation of orientation camps across states, the payment of state allowances to corps members and other responsibilities of state governments.

The NYSC Director-General, Brig Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim, stated this when he led other top management members to the NGF, adding that although the scheme was federal arrangement, state governments had key roles to play in its programmes and activities.

Ibrahim told the governors that responsibilities on the states included the provision of facilities like orientation camps, corps transit lodge, corps lodges, office accommodation and other forms of intervention.

The DG said, “These are essential for the welfare of corps members and the general success of the scheme.

“Your Excellencies, the purpose of my appearance before you today is to thank you for all your gestures in support of the NYSC.

“These include various intervention projects being carried out in some of our orientation camps, payment of state allowance to corps members, release of state subvention to some of the NYSC state secretariats and the provision of accommodation for corps members amongst others.’’

“However, I am constrained to inform this forum that more needs to be done in some states so as to make the operating environment conducive for the scheme.

“These include the establishment of NYSC state governing boards and local government committees, sustained upgrade of orientation camp facilities, prioritisation of corps members’ security, provision of land for agriculture, prompt payment of state allowance and effective utilisation of corps members.”

According to a release from the NYSC on Saturday, the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, pledged their continued support for the scheme, adding that corps members’ security would be accorded priority.

Fayemi added that the requests made by the DG would be looked into.
