Gombe: NYSC Urges Corps Members Against Partisan Politics

The Gombe State Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps, Ada Imoni, has called on the 2023 Batch ‘A’ Stream I corps members to avoid partisan politics.

Imoni made this call during her debriefing at the NYSC temporary orientation camp in the Amada area of the state.

She emphasised that corps members must give their best as ad hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)

“It is pertinent that you do not drag the good name of the scheme in the mud by taking bribes or conniving with politicians to mar the quest for a successful election. 

"For as many of you that will be participating, I call on you to make us proud by giving free, fair and credible elections, by the grace of God,” she said.

On the cashless policy, the NYSC coordinator noted that arrangements had been put in place with the Gombe Line and Gombawa Transport Motors to transmit corps members to their places of primary assignment and states of relocation.

“Transport fares will be paid through their Point of Sale machines to ease the stress of the cashless policy," she noted.

Imoni said postings were done based on four important areas of the scheme including agriculture, rural development, education and healthcare delivery.

Imoni urged the corps members on community development service, concern for the culture and traditions of their host communities, avoidance of hate speech, monthly biometrics clearance, and means of communication.
