Represented by the state Coordinator of NYSC, Alhaji Muhammad Nakamba, the governor said the programme has created entrepreneurs and employer of labours.

Tambuwal also pledged enhanced welfare for the corps members, stressing that the scheme has over the years played a vital role in enhancing national integration, social, cultural and physical development of the country, and enjoined the corps members to sustain the tempo.
He said: “At this critical time, I enjoin you to be the vanguard of promoting national unity in line with the fundamental objectives of the scheme.”

According to him, “You know the security challenges in the country presently, but I assure you that your security is guaranteed here in Sokoto State.”
Earlier, the state Coordinator, Nakamba, urged the corps members to be disciplined, saying camp life is not an easy one but regimental.
He stated that NYSC would reward dedicated corps members at the end of their service year, stressing that if they want to be a beneficiary, they can start from the camp.
