The Gombe State government said it is unfair that the federal government took over the NYSC orientation camp constructed by the state and paid only N1.4 billion as compensation.
The secretary to the state government, Prof. Ibrahim Njodi, said the camp at Malam Sidi was taken over to host Operation Safe Corridor for the de-radicalisation, rehabilitation and reintegration of repentant Boko Haram members.
Njodi said the facility was built by the Ibrahim Dankwambo administration for the mandatory three-week orientation course of corps members posted to the state.
With the takeover by the Defence Headquarters, Njodi said the Gombe government had to begin constructing a new orientation camp in the Boltongo district.
“The Federal Government paid us only N1.4bn in compensation, yet we have already spent over N5 billion to put up a new NYSC orientation camp. That is almost three times the amount we were given," he disclosed.
