The 1,885 members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) deployed to Adamawa State have commenced their orientation training.
The training formally kicked off on Friday when the state government officially welcomed them at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Daware, Girei Local Government Area.
Deputy Governor, Kaletapwa Farauta, who spoke after the swearing-in of the 2025 Batch ‘A’ Stream I corps members, tasked them to take advantage of their service year to acquire entrepreneurial skills for self-dependence.
She reminded them that the one-year mandatory service plays a crucial role in shaping their discipline and skills, stressing that the orientation also prepares them physically and mentally, thereby inspiring them to discover and develop their potential.
Farauta, representing Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, who is out of the country, encouraged the NYSC members to utilise the opportunity of their service with enthusiasm, discipline and determination.
Earlier, the NYSC state coordinator, Caroline Chinedu, urged the corps members to uphold discipline, warning that any of them found violating NYSC bye-laws would face disciplinary action.
