She emphasized that while discipline must remain a priority, officials must avoid extortion, excessive socializing, or the use of corporal punishment when interacting with the young men and women. Mrs. Adama’s reminder came as part of efforts to ensure a positive and nurturing environment for the Corps members, setting the tone for their time in camp.

In the same meeting, Camp Director Mrs. Hellen Anyaeze encouraged cooperation among camp staff to guide the incoming Corps members. Captain E.T. Clement, the Camp Commandant, also highlighted the shared responsibility for security and urged prompt reporting of any concerns to ensure a safe camp experience for all.
