The director-general, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Muhammad Fadah, has urged state governments to continually upgrade orientation camp facilities.

He made the appeal at the 2022 Batch ā€˜C’ pre-orientation course workshop on Wednesday in Abuja, urging state governments to make all other necessary logistic provisions.

He commended the federal government and all stakeholders of the scheme for keeping faith with the NYSC.

The director-general also appealed for the continued support of the stakeholders to enhance the operations of the scheme.

Mr Fadah said the scheme recognised the importance of the roles of all stakeholders in the scheme and that they were all already working together for the successful conduct of the forthcoming 2022 Batch ā€˜C’ Orientation Course.

The director, planning, research and statistics, Ahmed Ikaka, said the workshop was organised to prepare for the forthcoming 2022 Batch ā€˜C’ streams one and two orientation courses.

He added that at the end of the workshop, far-reaching resolutions that would guide the execution of the forthcoming orientation course would be agreed upon.

The Minister, Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Muhammad Bello, said the modest achievements of the territory were attributable to the cooperation and support from others, including the services rendered by the corps members deployed to the territory.

Represented by the acting director, youth department, Musa Lai, he assured the scheme of the administration’s continuous partnership with the scheme for the successful implementation of its lofty programmes.
