Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State on Wednesday warned public and private organisations in the state against rejecting corps members posted to them.
The governor spoke during the closing ceremony of the 2016 Batch ‘B’ orientation course at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) permanent orientation camp, Kusalla in Karaye Local Government Area.
According to him, such act by some government and private organisations is capable of dampening the morale of the corps members.
Ganduje said: “We have received reports that some organisations are in the habit of rejecting corp members posted to their organisations by the NYSC.
“Therefore, I enjoined the corps’ employers to accept them and engage them meaningfully.”
He urged the corps members to extend the positive traits they have imbibed and exhibited during the orientation course at their places of primary assignment and host communities.
“Passionately pursue the lofty ideals of the scheme and serve selflessly so that your host communities benefit immensely during your service year,”Ganduje advised.
While assuring them of adequate security, Ganduje implore the corps members to work hard as his government will continue to reward outstanding performances at the end of the service year.
In his remarks, the NYSC State Coordinator, Alhaji Abdullahi Yusuf, said the scheme in collaboration with various agencies have prepared the youths for the task of nation-building.
Yusuf said in line with the aspiration to meet the `felt-needs’ of the people of Kano State, many of the corps members were posted to serve in rural areas, where there is shortage of manpower.
He charged them to accept the postings in good faith and contribute meaningfully to enrich the lives of the rural dwellers.
