Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, on Friday urged employers not to reject corps members posted to serve in their organisations.
He said one of the challenges faced by corps members, who are alien to their places of primary assignment, was outright rejection by their intended employers, including government establishments.
El-Rufai, who was represented by Jonah Gandu, director, NGO/NYSC, ministry of youth and sports in the state, assured corps members of their security in any part of the state.
“All employers of corps labour in the state are encouraged to accept corps members posted to them and make them comfortable,” he said.

“I want to assure you of your security. You are safe in any part of the state that you are posted to serve.
“Government will continue to recognise and reward those of you who perform excellently at the end of the service year.
“Let me also reiterate that Kaduna state government will continue to give the scheme maximum support towards the attainment of its objectives.”

The governor urged corps members to take advantage of every opportunity that would come their way during the service year.
“You must endeavour to utilise the opportunity which the NYSC has provided through the skills acquisition and entrepreneurial training, to improve your lives,” he said.
