Corps Members urged to lead fight against insecurity

The National Youth Service Corps Members have been urged to lead the way in fighting terrorism, banditry, k!dnapping, cultism and all sorts of insecurity in the country

The call was made by the Northeast Zonal Coordinator, National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons, NCCSALW, Northeast Zonal Centre, Major General Abubakar Adamu (retd.)

He made the call at the NYSC orientation camp in Bauchi on Tuesday.

Abubakar emphasised that with the involvement of the youth, especially corps members, in fighting the proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons, insecurity issues would be a thing of the past in no distant time.

Represented by Assistant Director, Strategic Communication and Information, NCCSALW, Northeast Zonal Centre, Adamu Saleh, the zonal coordinator, charged the National Youth Service Corps members to report any form of proliferation of small Arms and Light Weapons in the country.

According to him, “Please, when you have been posted out to your various places of primary assignment, look into these things, be a good ambassador of your parents, NYSC, your state and yourself by reporting anyone using these small arms and light weapons.

“If you know anyone who is fabricating small arms and light weapons, please report such because I believe without this, there will be no banditry, violence, cultism, political thuggery, Boko Haram, ISWAP and others.

“As part of the efforts of the Federal Government to curtail and fight the proliferation of small Arms and Light Weapons, the NCCSALW was created.

“It is part of the responsibility of this NCCSALW to be advocating, sensitising communities and key stakeholders in the fight against the proliferation of small Arms and Light Weapons.”
