DSS Reassures Corps Members of Safety in Abia

The Department of State Services (DSS) in Abia State has reaffirmed its commitment to the safety and security of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving in the state.

The assurance was given by the State Director of DSS, Ibrahim Abdullahi, during a visit by the Abia NYSC Coordinator, Mrs. Gladys Adama, and her management team to the DSS headquarters in Umuahia.

Abdullahi pledged continued collaboration and support, adding that the command would conduct a vulnerability assessment of all NYSC facilities in the state and take necessary action to enhance security.

He also cautioned corps members against embarking on unauthorized trips due to associated risks and encouraged them to maintain a positive attitude and contribute meaningfully during their service year.

Earlier, Mrs. Adama appreciated the DSS for its past support and sought further assistance ahead of the upcoming 2025 Batch ‘A’ Stream I orientation course.

Following the visit, a DSS team conducted an on-the-spot assessment of the NYSC state secretariat along Finbarr’s Road, Umuahia.
