Director-General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig-Gen. Suleiman Kazaure on Wednesday expressed concern over what he called the dilapidated state of facilities in many orientation camps across the country.
Speaking at the opening of the 2018 Batch ‘A’ Pre-orientation Workshop, held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, Kazaure said that facilities in many of the orientation camps were nothing to write home about.
He, however, commended the Oyo State Government for what he said was its continued support for the NYSC through the provision of standard orientation camp, located in Iseyin, and its routine maintenance.
Kazaure also said that the provision of an enabling environment for the operations of the scheme in the state was commendable.
He said that the law establishing the NYSC scheme placed the responsibility of provision and maintenance of orientation camps on state governments.
he said, include payment of the corps members’ monthly allowances and provision of necessary assistance to the secretariats for the smooth conduct of orientation courses, among others.
