Kazaure, who was represented by the Director of Mobilisation, Chief Frank Ekpunobi, disclosed this at Issele-Uku, Delta State during a visit to the camp.
He said any insinuation about scrapping the scheme were borne out of “poverty of information”.
He said the NYSC period in the life of an individual was a period of stop gap and to differentiate between fantasy and reality.
Kazaure said the scheme was created after the three years of the civil war with the sole aim of national integration and since its creation, it had performed wonderfully well in the area of education, healthcare delivery and increased literacy.
He said that there was nowhere in Nigeria today that you do not find corps members rendering services to their fatherland.
The NYSC DG, however, advised the corps members to stay in their places of primary assignment, avoid unnecessary traveling and worked hard to bag awards.
Earlier, the Delta State Coordinator, Benjamin Omotade, said camping activities commenced on a promising note.
Omotade said that different agencies, including the police, have cordial relationship with the camp officials.
He said staff of the Federal Medical Centre in the state was also on ground to render qualitative healthcare services to the corps members.
