Plateau government has assured the NYSC batch “A” corps members posted to the state of adequate security during orientation and in their places of primary assignment.
Mr Lohfa Bako, Commissioner for Youth Development, who represented Gov. Jonah Jang, gave the assurance on Thursday in Jos, during the swearing-in ceremony of the 2012 batch “A” corps members.
Bako said that adequate security arrangement had been made to ensure their safety during the service year.
