The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Muhammad Bello has said that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) would soon get a new orientation camp in the FCT.

The minister announced that his administration has approved the construction of a new permanent orientation camp in the Kwali Area Council of the city.

Bello said this yesterday during a meeting of the NYSC National Governing Board and Chairmen of State NYSC Governing Boards in Abuja.

The minister, who was represented by the FCT NYSC Governing Board Chairman, Hadiza Kabir, also issued a directive against the rejection of corps members within the FCT in a move to reduce the prevalent challenge of corps rejection.

Lamenting the declining support of some stakeholders for the effective performance of the scheme, the minister stated that the scheme remained the responsibility of governments at all levels and must not be left in the care of anyone.

“My administration has approved the construction of a new permanent orientation camp in Kwali, while a new secretariat complex is also underway in pursuance of this administration’s determination to ease the operations of the scheme in the FCT,” he said.

Chairman of the NYSC Governing Board, Ambassador Fatima Abubakar said the NYSC has witnessed negligence and lack of commitment by some stakeholders in the provision of permanent orientation camps, upgrade of facilities in the camps, the establishment of NYSC state governing boards and local government committees, payment of state allowances to corps members among others.

She added that the meeting was organised to stimulate greater synergy among the national governing board of the NYSC and the state counterparts for the advancement of the scheme’s operations and to clarify the statutory roles of every segment as specified in the NYSC Act.

The NYSC Director-General, Brig. Gen. Muhammad Fadah urged the chairmen of governing board to liaise with their governors to ensure that they play their roles in the advancement of the scheme across the states
