Corps members posted to Bauchi for the compulsory One year to fatherland under the National Youths Service Scheme (NYSC) have been warned that any of them found culpable of any form of indiscipline while on Camp will be dealt with decisively in accordance with the the relevant rules.
They were therefore warned that any act of indiscipline would not be tolerated and should abstain from such as long as they remained in the Camp.
The warning was given by the Bauchi State Coordinator of the NYSC, Mrs Rifkatu Yakubu, during the swearing-in ceremony of the 2024 Batch ‘A’ stream II Corps members held at the Permanent Orientation Camp in Wailo, Ganjuwa LGA of the state.
She stressed that any Corps member found indulging in any form of indiscipline would be decisively dealt with in accordance with NYSC bylaws.
According to her, “You must equally obey all camp officials as they are your guardians. Indiscipline is not tolerated here and I assure you that if you are law-abiding you will have a very fruitful and enjoyable camping exercise.”
Rifkatu Yakubu added, “On our part, we pledge to do our utmost best to ensure that you experience the regimented nature of camp throughout the duration of the orientation course and the entire service year.”
The state Coordinator commended the State Governor, Sen Bala Mohammed for his approval of the renovation and repairs of damaged Camp facilities as well as his release of funds to augment feeding of corps members for the orientation exercise.
She also said that the Corps members would be allowed to serve in the various committees set up for the smooth running of the camp.
The Coordinator believes that this would give them practical experience in administration and a chance to contribute to decisions that affect them.
In his address, Bauchi State Governor, Sen Bala Mohammed expressed happiness with the sense of patriotism and enthusiasm demonstrated by the corps members by promptly reporting to the orientation camp.
The Governor who was represented by the Commissioner of Youths and Sports Development, Mohammed Salees, enjoined the Corps members to cherish his commendation and become a catalyst for change in this orientation camp and during the entire service year.

According to him, “The good people of Bauchi State appreciate and understand the objectives and philosophy of the NYSC. In view of this, we have resolved to join hands with you in every way possible to ensure the success of the Scheme in the State.”
The Governor added “I implore you to take with utmost seriousness the nation’s clarion call to serve with greater dedication and commitment. The future of this country lies in your hands.”
