Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering commitment to the growth, safety, and overall success of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme in the state. The Governor gave this assurance at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Nonwa-Gbam, Tai Local Government Area, during the official swearing-in ceremony of the 2026 Batch B Stream II corps members.
Represented at the event, Governor Fubara emphasized that his administration deeply values the critical role that young graduates play in nation-building, social integration, and local community development. He remarked that the NYSC remains one of the most successful national institutions for fostering unity across diverse cultural backgrounds, which is why Rivers State continues to prioritize the welfare of all corps members deployed to the state.
A Call to Dedication, Discipline, and Patriotism
Addressing the newly sworn-in corps members, the Governor urged them to approach their service year with the utmost dedication, discipline, and a strong sense of patriotism. He challenged them to view their deployment to Rivers State not merely as a statutory obligation, but as a unique platform to impact lives, develop leadership skills, and contribute to the socio-economic advancement of their host communities.
“Your service year is a defining phase of your transition into leadership,” Governor Fubara stated. “I charge you to remain dedicated to the core values of the NYSC. Avoid social vices, respect the cultural heritage of the communities you will be posted to, and actively participate in all camp activities. Most importantly, leverage the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) program to equip yourselves for self-reliance and global competitiveness.”
Guaranteed Security and Conducive Environment
Governor Fubara assured the corps members that Rivers State is safe, highly hospitable, and ready to support them. He noted that the state government, in collaboration with security agencies, has put robust measures in place to guarantee their safety at the orientation camp and across all local government areas during their primary assignments. Furthermore, he reiterated his administration’s commitment to continuously upgrading facilities at the Nonwa-Gbam camp and maintaining a cordial partnership with the NYSC state management.
As the 2026 Batch B Stream II corps members embark on this patriotic journey, the Governor’s reassurance serves as a strong morale booster, preparing them to leave a lasting positive legacy in the Treasure Base of the Nation.
