Governor Mutfwang assures Plateau corps members of safety and donates N6 million

Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang told corps members of the NYSC that they will receive adequate protection during their service year. He made the assurance at the opening and swearing-in ceremony for the 2026 Batch C Stream II Orientation Course held at the NYSC Temporary Orientation Camp, WAYE Foundation, Doi-Du, Jos South Local Government Area.

Represented by Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development and NYSC Plateau State Governing Board Chairman Miaphen, the governor said the safety of corps members remains a priority for his administration. He added that the state government is working closely with security agencies to strengthen security across Plateau State and urged the corps members to remain vigilant and follow security guidelines.

Mutfwang also called on the corps members to contribute meaningfully to national development through community service and to promote national unity by respecting Nigeria's ethnic, religious and cultural diversity. In a show of support for the NYSC scheme, he donated N5 million to welcome the corps members and support the orientation exercise. Miaphen contributed an additional N1 million on behalf of the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development in appreciation of the NYSC Plateau State Dance Troupe's performance.

Earlier, NYSC Plateau State Coordinator Jonathan Yavala reminded the corps members to uphold the dignity of the NYSC uniform and to demonstrate discipline, tolerance, humility, respect and patriotism throughout the year. He encouraged active participation in the orientation course, building relationships across cultural boundaries and applying their skills to address developmental challenges in host communities.
