Borno State Flood Relief Distribution Committee has engaged fifty members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to expedite the ongoing verification process for flood relief distribution.
Training sessions have began to familiarize the corps members with verification procedures and ensure their success in the assignment.
The Chairman of the Committee, Engr Baba Bukar Gujbawu while flagging off the training emphasized the importance of commitment and dedication to the task at hand.
He affirmed that the Committee is determined to conduct thorough and professional work as mandated by Governor Babagana Zulum, within the established timeframe.
“I want to urge to take this assignment very seriously, you are selected based on merit, what we want is credible work and anything short of that will not be acceptable” Gujbawu said.
In a training session, Co-chair of the Committee Professor Ibrahim Umara, characterized the verification task as both humanitarian and challenging.
He advised the participants to refuse any form of gratification, assuring them that adequate security measures are in place for their safety.
Professor Umara noted that the Committee still have more than fifteen wards to cover, underscoring the necessity of engaging additional personnel to expedite the process while maintaining high standards.
“We have many wards in Maiduguri such as Gamboru, Bulabulin, Gwange 2, Gwange 3 as well Fori, Galtimari, Old Maiduguri and other affected areas. So we need the Corpers who already mobilise to help fast track the process” Umara stated.
The Corps members seek clarification in areas of tenants/landlords, multiple households, categories of destruction among others.
