Speaking at the state orientation camp Wailo, Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the state, the director-general said that the move was part of NYSC’s commitment toward the welfare of corps members in the state.

According to him, the gesture is in tandem with his policy thrust of enhancing the security and general welfare of corps members.

Fadah further stated that the clinic was more conducive for the delivery of quality healthcare for both the corps members and other members of the camp.

“For the clinic construction, we rebuilt an abandoned structure originally designed to serve as orientation broadcasting service but which was later destroyed by rainstorm.

“This new construction will accommodate offices for key officials manning the clinic, in addition to consulting room, pharmacist bay and laboratory,” he said.

Also, the State Coordinator of NYSC, Alhaji Namadi Abubakar, said that a total of 996 out of the 1,500 corps members posted to the state had completed their registration before the swearing-in.
