No fewer than 1,700 members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) deployed to Bauchi State under the 2026 Batch B Stream I have been sworn in for the mandatory one-year national service.

The swearing-in ceremony took place at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Bauchi, where officials of the scheme and government representatives urged the corps members to uphold discipline, patriotism, and commitment throughout their service year.

Addressing the corps members, the Bauchi State Coordinator of NYSC, Mr. Umoren Kufre, expressed satisfaction with their conduct since arriving at the orientation camp, noting that they had actively participated in camp activities without any major incidents.

Kufre commended the corps members for demonstrating humility, loyalty, patriotism, and a willingness to serve the nation.

“My dear corps members, within the short time I have interacted with you, I have observed that you are willing and ready to serve our fatherland,” he said.

He advised them to strictly adhere to camp regulations and follow established procedures whenever they have complaints or concerns.

“I urge you to obey all the rules and regulations governing the orientation camp and in case you notice any irregularity, do not take the laws into your hands; always ensure that you follow the proper channel of communication to express your grievances,” he added.

The state coordinator assured participants that NYSC management would continue to provide essential facilities and maintain a conducive environment throughout the orientation programme.

“Your safety and comfort remain our utmost priority,” Kufre stated.

He also acknowledged the continued support of the Bauchi State Government towards the success of the NYSC scheme in the state.

In his remarks, Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, challenged the corps members to become agents of positive change and contribute meaningfully to national development.

Represented by the Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Adam Gabarin, the governor urged the newly sworn-in corps members to embrace the objectives of the scheme and work towards promoting national unity.

“I encourage you to start contemplating the initiation of meaningful Community Development Service projects in your areas of primary assignment right from the camp,” the governor said.

“I believe this should occupy your thoughts and prevent you from engaging in inappropriate behaviors while in camp and during your service.”

The oath of allegiance was administered by the Chief Judge of Bauchi State, Justice Rabi Umar, who was represented at the event by Justice Abubakar Yerima.

The ceremony formally marked the commencement of the orientation programme and the one-year national service for the 1,700 corps members deployed to the state.

A group of stakeholders in Warri has announced its decision to withdraw support for the incumbent member representing the Warri Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Thomas Ereyitomi, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

 

The group, while explaining its position, cited what it described as dissatisfaction with the lawmaker’s performance and representation of the constituency.

 

The stakeholders subsequently declared their support for Comrade Jude Ukori Mulade as their preferred candidate for the 2027 House of Representatives election.

 

According to the group, its decision followed concerns over the level of representation and development delivered to the constituency under the current administration.

 

The stakeholders said they were seeking a representative who would be more responsive to the needs of the people and more committed to advancing issues affecting residents across the constituency.

 

They urged other political stakeholders and eligible voters in Warri to consider Mulade’s candidacy as the 2027 elections approach.

 

The group’s endorsement adds to the growing political activities and realignments expected to shape the contest for the Warri Federal Constituency seat ahead of the 2027 general elections.
