As part of its Community Development Services (CDS), the
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Thursday flagged off streets and houses
numbering in Bauchi State capital.
Speaking during the flag off of the exercise at the palace
of the emir of Bauchi, the state NYSC coordinator Alhaji Bashir Shehu said the
project was aimed at making houses, streets and other addresses easy to locate
in the town.
He said their serving corps members in collaboration with
Bauchi State Urban Town planning and Development Board would carry out the
exercise beginning from the palace of the emir.
Also speaking, the Emir of Bauchi Alhaji Rilwanu Suleiman
Adamu represented by the Ward Head of Dankade Alhaji Zailani Muhammed commended
the NYSC for the initiative revealing that most houses and streets in the town
are not numbered.
He said there are six wards in the Bauchi metropolis
promising that the emirate will take the Corps members round to all the places
to carry out the exercise.
The Emir also acknowledged the donation of slippers given by
the scheme to teeming 'almajiris' in the town and trash cans for disposal of
waste in parts of the metropolis recently.
