The Governor urged corps members to explore these opportunities to succeed during their service year.

Represented by the Chief of Staff Government House, Yola, Dr Edgar Amos the governor emphasized the importance of the orientation course in equipping corps members for national development.

He advised them to take the training seriously, build lasting relationships, and maintain positive interactions with host communities.

“Consider yourselves as bona fide members of the community, immerse yourselves in the culture, and maintain healthy relationships”, he maintained.

” Adamawa is one of the most peaceful states in the country, but I urge you to remain security conscious and apply the tips you’ll receive during this period”, he emphasized.

Earlier, the Chairman of the NYSC State Governing Board and Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Barrister Wali Yakubu, expressed confidence that the corps members would enjoy their stay in Adamawa.

He encouraged them to embrace the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme to become job creators rather than job seekers.

Also, the NYSC State Coordinator, Mr. Ateli Samson, commended Governor Fintiri for his generosity, including the donation of 50 bags of rice, 10 cows, and 10 jerricans of oil for the corps members.

He also acknowledged the Governor’s recent increase of corps members’ allowances to N20,000 and the improved feeding arrangements at the orientation camp.
