Corps members posted to Gombe State for the mandatory one year service to their fatherland have been implored to carefully read the instructions on their posting letters before proceeding to their various places of primary assignment.
The call was made by Mrs Ada Imoni Gombe state coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) who commended the 2021 Batch B Stream I Corps members who are going out of camp on Monday for exhibiting a high level of discipline throughout their stay at the orientation camp.
She was speaking in Amada temporary orientation camp during the state coordinator’s debriefing of the 2021 batch B corps members warning the corps members against embarking on night journey.
According to her, to prevent loss of lives, necessary arrangements have been put in place to ensure safety of lives and property of all corps members, particularly those on relocation to other States as they leave the orientation camp
Ada Imoni said that, “With the imposition of 24 hours curfew in Plateau State, Corps members going on relocation that will be passing through Jos are advised to wait until the curfew is lifted”.
She also drew the attention of other Corps members that may want to travel by road to distant Places not to proceed on any journey after closing ceremony because it is not safe to go late considering the state of insecurity across the country.
The State Coordinator said that, “If you must travel at all, you should break the journey, sleep over and continue the following day. We have liaised with Nigeria Christian Corpers Fellowship (NCCF), Muslim Corpers Association of Nigeria (MCAN) and National Association of Catholic Corpers (NACC) Corps lodges for use as transit camps to corps members as they wait for the relaxation of the curfew in Plateau state.
“Feel free to go there as you would be received by other serving corps members” she assured the Corps members and implored the Covid-19 Vanguard not to rest on their toes as their schedule continues in their various host communities.
She stressed that, “Adherence to the Covid-19 safety measures must continue even outside the Camp. The Covid-19 Vanguard trained on camp must keep up with their mandate of sensitizing members of their host Communities on the mode of transmissions ion and safety measures”.
The State Coordinator also spoke on Community Development Service, monthly biometrics clearance, channel of Communication, speaking to the press and use of social media to channel grievances among other things.
