The Zamfara state governor, Dr. Dauda Lawal, has urged members of the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream II of the National Youth Service Corps to use their service year to impact positively on their host communities through dedication, humility and community service.
The governor gave the charge Wednesday at the closing ceremony of the three-week orientation course held at the NYSC Temporary Orientation Camp, UBEC Training Centre, Gusau.
He was represented by the Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Hon. Kasimu Sani Kaura.
Gov. Lawal said the service year presents a unique opportunity to contribute to national development and to the well-being of the communities where they are posted.
“Even simple acts such as teaching a child, helping someone acquire a skill, supporting a community project or introducing an idea that solves a problem can make your service meaningful,” the governor stated.
He encouraged them to be hardworking, respectful and willing to learn, while urging them to respect the culture and traditions of their host communities.
“Approach the rest of your service year with dedication and a determination to make a positive difference. You are ambassadors of unity and development,” he added.
Dr. Lawal reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to the welfare and security of corps members serving in Zamfara.
