Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umaru Radda, has ordered the Ministry of Works, Housing and Transport to assess the structural issues at the state's National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp, slated for renovation after 25 years. During the swearing-in of the 2026 Batch 'B' Stream II corps members, Radda pledged to enhance the camp's facilities and improve the welfare of corps members.
The comprehensive evaluation of the deteriorating camp facilities will pave the way for a holistic renovation and remodeling. The NYSC coordinator, Mr Evans Okwor, had previously requested the government to intervene in the deteriorating condition of the camp, particularly the male hostel that has not seen any renovation since its construction 25 years ago.
While the female hostel received partial renovation in 2020, the male hostel and other facilities necessitate extensive rehabilitation and upgrading to create a conducive environment for corps members. Radda assured corps members of the government's support throughout their service year and urged them to live up to the trust placed in them.
