The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Suleiman Kazaure, has admonished corps members to stop seeking relocation from the North to other states, saying the region is no longer volatile.

According to him, more than 50 per cent of corps members sent to the North usually seek relocation to other parts of the country.



Kazure told Saturday PUNCH that the recent development has not encouraged unity in diversity which the scheme preaches and stands for.

Addressing the 2016 Batch B Stream 2 corps members at the Niger State Permanent Orientation Camp in Paiko on Friday, Kazaure urged the corps members to keep an open mind and give the North a chance.

Kazaure, who was represented by the Director of Information and Communications Technology, Mrs. Christy Uba, said, “Do not dwell on the negative things you have heard about the North; do not seek relocation.

“I want to assure you that the people of the North are peaceful and friendly. Keep an open mind and give it a chance and a trial. Your being posted here was not by mistake; stay here and make some impact on the people of the state.”

The DG then encouraged the corps members to share their challenges with state and local government coordinators and desist from taking their grievances to the social media.”

In her address, the Niger State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs. Theresa Arokoyo, lamented the security challenges being faced at the camp, while calling on the state government to give corps members a permanent orientation camp that will be more secure.

Why risk the lives of young Nigerians when you can't provide the security to their lives and properties?

Is the Nigerian youth the proverbial cat with nine lives?

Very true.. Apart from the terrorist zone. The north is safer than the south. Am a southerner and im verifying it.

Well

Yeah, very safe for northerners......

For Your Mind

The north is peaceful esp Kaduna!

He assured them of adequate security while Coordinator lamented of security challenges in his presence. Politicians playing with Nigerians life since 1880

How many of his children serve in the north currently?

Some people will just come on air and be saying nonsense.

you're looking for people to sacrifice to BH abi? God pass you, let your kids and kins serve in the north ooh.

fear North

Kazure told Saturday PUNCH that the recent development has not encouraged unity in diversity which the scheme preaches and stands for.

So we should go and die because the scheme preaches diversity, abi?

Lie Muhammed

I can attest to that because few days ago I heard the Almirty Nigeria army has eradicated all Boko haram members in the region.

I hate the fact that I will have to choose two nothern states. If I am posted there (which I never hoped for), I am very much likely to redeploy. I cannot best serve my country when I live in fear. I just wont give my best in a tensed atmosphere there - up North.

austine4real:
fear North

It's just that u have never been there

I technically agree to that.... Apart from the issue of insurgency and some individual extremist (wch won't happen if you mind your own biznex), I don't think there is any state as safe as the northern states.
