COORDINATOR NYSC GOMBE HARPS ON DISCIPLINE IN POST-CAMP ASSIGNMENT
The State Coordinator, NYSC Gombe State, Chinwe Nnenna Nwachukwu, has called on the 2026 Batch 'B' Stream II Corps Members to prioritize discipline as they proceed to their Primary Place of Assignment, PPA.
She gave the charge during the State Coordinator’s Debriefing at the NYSC Temporary Orientation Camp, Government Science Technical College, Amada.
Nwachukwu described the Place of Primary Assignment as the second cardinal programme of the NYSC Scheme which runs concurrently with the third cardinal programme, Community Development Service, CDS. She enjoined Corps Members to study the NYSC Bye-Laws, stressing that ignorance of the rules will not be accepted as an excuse.
She admonished Corps Members not to induce rejection by employers who requested their services, noting that rejection is only valid where the organization provides a written reason.
She urged Corps Members whose relocation requests are approved via SMS notification to report promptly to their state of relocation, as failure to do so within 21 days could warrant reversal of the approval.
The State Coordinator further cautioned Corps Members against embarking on unauthorized journeys and against the indiscriminate use of social media to disparage the NYSC or government authorities.
Nwachukwu also urged corps members to participate actively in post-camp SAED programmes, engage in Community Development Service, and respect members of their host communities while living in harmony with fellow Corps Members and neighbors.
Highlights of the debriefing session included the introduction of the management team, Zonal Inspectors, and Local Government Inspectors to reiterate the Channel of Communication during the service year.
The State Coordinator also presented commendation letters to outstanding officials. The recipients were ASN1 Ishayaku Ibrahim Jatau of NDLEA, Mr. Ngyar Ishaya Israel, Support Staff from North East Area Office 1, Bauchi, and Mrs. Lydia Amos Danzaria, an outstanding Platoon Officer.
