Gov.Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa state on
Tuesday, promised automatic employment to
any
newly deployed corps member who marries an
indigene of the state. He made the pledge while
addressing 2015 NYSC Batch ‘A’ corp members,
during their swearing in- ceremony at Magaji Dan
Yamusa permanent NYSC Orientation camp in
Keffi
Local Government Area of the state.
He said that inter-marriage by corps members
would not only foster unity, also promote
peaceful
co-existence among the people of the state and
others states of the federation. He congratulated
the corps members for the successful completion
of their academic programmes at their various
institutions of learning.
“I urge you to use the lessons and experience
you
gained during this orientation course to develop
yourselves, your host communities, the state and
the Nigeria at large.
“You should see yourselves as agent of positive
change in the society. “I want to advise you to
discharge your duties without fear or favour, and
relate freely with your host communities. “I
promise automatic employment to any NYSC
Batch
‘A’ corps member who marries an indigenes in
order to promote peaceful co-existence among
the people of the state and others states of the
country.” Al-Makura said.
Al-Makura also assured the corps members of
adequate security throughout their service year
in the state. He urged them to be security
conscious, and to report any security breach to
the appropriate authorities for necessary action.
He urged them to be agents of national unity, and
to shun all forms of violence capable of
threatening the existing peace of the state and
the country at large.
The governor reinstated the state government’s
determination to continue to support the scheme,
in order to better the welfare of the corps
members. Earlier Mrs. Christy Uba, the Nasarawa
state NYSC director, commended Gov.Al-Makura
for his support to the scheme in the state. She
said since the beginning of this orientation
course, the corps members had exhibited good
conduct. A total of 1931 corp members have so
far
registered at the orientation camp.
