Who will believe
that NYSC is still posting corp members to troubled states like Yobe, Kaduna,
Kano, Sokoto, Borno and Bauchi
states? Let's not pretend we do not know the security conditions of these
states. How many top officials will send thier children to those states? NYSC should
not put more people's lives at risk..... I don't think it is a fair deal
because what safety guaranty is in place? When leaders are not willing to
sacrifice their lives, why should young Nigerians with dreams and aspirations
be sent to these states especially now? This is obviously not the right time to
do that.
How many security
operatives can protect themselves and their families...before they can protect
others? The blood shed is already alarming and pretending nothing happens in
this states is just false. To just wish them well and send them there is not
going to be enough.....
The corps members,
who expressed sadness as they received their call-up letters for the Batch B
NYSC service year, said they were confused as they did not know
what to do due to the spate of bombings and other forms of insecurity in these
states.
But speaking
through the Borno
State
Commissioner for Information, Mr. Inuwa Bwala, in a telephone interview with
our correspondent in Abuja
on Sunday, the Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, made a case for corps members
to be posted to the state.
He argued that
the security situation in the state was being exaggerated by detractors to
further isolate the state from the rest of the country.
He said,
“While it is true that we have security challenges, it is a fact that these
challenges are not exclusive to Borno
State.
“We don’t have
on record any attack on visitors neither do we have any record of attacks on
the NYSC camp or corps members posted to and currently serving in Borno
State.”
THIS IS
NIGERIA....WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
