FCT Minister, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, Tuesday assured corps members of the Batch ’B’ set posted to the territory, of their security during the service year.

He gave the assurance during the closing ceremony of the Batch ’B’ 2011 orientation exercise, which began three weeks ago at the NYSC Orientation Camp, Kubwa.

“Because of the seriousness the administration of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan attaches to the security of lives and property of Nigerians and visitors, the FCT Administration has gone ahead to put adequate security measures to guarantee your safety in the territory,” the minister said.

He advised corps members to be security conscious and report any breach of security in whatever form to the appropriate authorities, adding that the issue of security requires collective efforts.

The minister told them that their services are most needed in rural areas and counseled them to accept challenges by going round nooks and crannies to make positive impacts.

He described indigenes of the territory as warm, loving and accommodating.

Earlier in her address, FCT NYSC State Co-oordinator, Mrs. Linda O. Amugo, urged corps members to report promptly to their places of primary assignments.

On his part, Camp Director, Chief Greg Anyia, said the three weeks orientation programme was devoid of hitches, as adequate security arrangements were put in place for corps members.
