“I have no doubt that you will find Katsina a home away from home as our people are generally receptive and accommodating.
“My dear corps members, I would like to remind you that the orientation programme marks a very important segment of the service year.
“It is on this note that I implore you all to participate actively in all the orientation camp activities,” Radda said.
