Alhaji Ahijo Yahaya, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), the Director of North East Area Office Tuesday implored Corps employers in Taraba State to relate and offer the same work conditions accorded their staff to the Corps Members serving in their establishment and organizations.
This move, he stressed would further promote a good and efficient working setting geared towards promoting productivity in the affected organization as well as deepen corps members’ welfare and security in the state.
Alhaji Ahijo, represented by Mr. Chapman Ewetaram, a Deputy Director in the Area Office, spoke as he declared open the 2023 Corps Employers Workshop held at Taraba State University Jalingo.

The workshop was held simultaneously at Jalingo, Bali, Zinc, and Wukari NYSC Zonal offices respectively.
Earlier, the Taraba State NYSC Coordinator, Mr. Anthony Nzoka expressed profound appreciation to the representative of the Commissioner for Education, the Corps Employers, the Corps Members, and other stakeholders for making it to the event.
Borrowing a leaf from the theme of the workshop, “Deepening Corps Employers’ Participation Towards Improved Welfare and Security of Corps Members”, he tasked the corps employers to mentor as well as provide guidance and effective leadership while relating with the corps members serving in their organizations.
