Coalition Urges Governors to Renovate NYSC Camps Nationwide

The Reform NYSC Coalition, a non-partisan group focused on the welfare of corps members, praised Governor Dikko Umaru Radda for his commitment to renovating facilities at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp in Katsina. In a statement signed by Comrade Francis Nwogu on September 2, the coalition described Radda's initiative as a model for other governors to emulate.

They emphasized that improving camp conditions would enhance the quality of orientation, safeguard the health of young graduates, and strengthen the NYSC's role in promoting national unity. The coalition pointed out that many orientation camps across Nigeria suffer from overcrowding, inadequate sanitation, and failing amenities, urging state governments to share the responsibility of camp maintenance with federal authorities.

They called on the Nigerian Governors' Forum to prioritize NYSC camps as critical infrastructure. The coalition also commended NYSC Director-General Brigadier-General Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu for his engagement with state governments, reinforcing the importance of investing in corps members' welfare for national development.
