In his address, Mr Jingi Denis, Coordinator of the NYSC in Adamawa, described the approval of N10,000 monthly allowance for corps members as first of its kind in the state and lauded Fintiri for his practical support.
He encouraged the corps members to comply strictly with all camp rules and regulations, and be obedient to the corps officials. He said they would apply appropriate sanctions on recalcitrant corps members in line with the provisions of the NYSC Bye-Laws.
“The oath of allegiance, which you have just taken today is solemn. “I implore you to always find time to meditate over its spirit and letters, and be guided by same throughout the service year and beyond,” he said.
