We also appreciate him for his intervention in rebuilding the broken parts of the camp’s perimeter fence which has been a security threat to the members of the camp’s community.
“You will all recall that this has been a nightmare to us because that portion of the camp was porous and may give room for possible invasion but we thank the governor for the prompt intervention,” he said.
In his address, the governor said that the primary aim of the NYSC was to promote national unity and integration.
He added that the philosophy and initiatives of the scheme acknowledged the physical, psychological, mental, and intellectual development of the youth.

“May I further assure the management of the scheme in the state that we would not fail in our statutory responsibilities to the scheme, in addition to assisting where and when necessary,” Mohammed said.
