The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has sworn in 1,700 corps members of the 2026 Batch B Stream I deployed to the state for the one year compulsory exercise.
Speaking before the swearing-in exercise on Monday, Mr Umoren Kufre, the Bauchi State Coordinator of NYSC, said that there has not been any serious problem as the prospective corps members were participating actively in all camp activities.
He commended the display of humility, patriotism, loyalty and commitment of the prospective corps members since their arrival at the orientation camp.
“They have equally imbibed the regimented lifestyle in the camp and they are coping very well.
“My dear corps members, within the short time I have interacted with you, I have observed that you are willing and ready to serve our father land.
“I urge you to obey all the rules and regulations governing the orientation camp and in case you notice any irregularity, do not take the laws into your hands; always ensure that you follow the proper channel of communication to express your grievances,” he said.
Kufre assured the corps members that the NYSC management would ensure that the basic amenities they needed in the camp are provided for them, saying “your safety and comfort remain our utmost priority”.
He also commended the Bauchi State government for its continuous support and intervention for the scheme in the state.
Also speaking, Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state challenged the corps members to take the lead and advocate for national development and transformation.
Represented by Mr Adamu Gabarin, Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Mohammed urged them to take the noble call with utmost seriousness and commit themselves to achieving the scheme's objective of national unity and development.
“I encourage you to start contemplating the initiation of meaningful Community Development Service projects in your areas of primary assignment right from the camp.
“I believe this should occupy your thoughts and prevent you from engaging in inappropriate behaviors while in camp and during your service,” said the governor.
Justice Rabi Umar, the Chief Judge of the state who was represented by Justice Abubakar Yerima conducted the swearing in exercise for the corps members.
