Corps members
The Borno State Flood Relief Distribution Committee has engaged 50 members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to expedite the ongoing verification process for flood relief distribution.
Training sessions have begun to familiarise 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 was determined to conduct thorough and professional work as mandated by Governor Babagana Zulum, within the established timeframe.

“I want to urge you 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, the co-chair of the committee, Professor Ibrahim Umara, characterised the verification task as both humanitarian and challenging.
He advised the participants to refuse any form of gratification, assuring them that adequate security measures were in place for their safety.
Professor Umara noted that the committee still had more than 15 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 as Fori, Galtimari, Old Maiduguri, and other affected areas. So we need the Corpers who already mobilize to help fast track the process,” Umara stated.
The corps members sought clarification in areas of tenants/landlords, multiple households, and categories of destruction, among others.
