Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has urged corps’ members to use their service year as an avenue to rebuild, reconstruct, and strengthen Nigeria’s unity, just as he assured them of his government’s commitment to ensuring their security and welfare throughout.
The governor, represented by the secretary to the state government, Honorable Teslim Igbalaye, during the swearing-in of the 2024 Batch B, Stream I, on Tuesday, in Ede, reminded the corps members that the orientation course was to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to serve their country effectively,
He said that corps members played a vital role in nation’s building, especially with Nigeria’s new national anthem, which signified dedication to the service of the country.
“Measures have been put in place to safeguard your wellbeing and I urge you to avail yourselves of the support systems provided, as we are committed to providing a safe and conducive environment for your personal and professional development.
“The orientation course serves as a foundation for your service year, equipping you with the necessary skills and knowledge to serve your country effectively,” he said.
The governor noted that the mandatory service year remained crucial to the achievements and successes of the serving corps members in the state.
He encouraged them to show dedication and enthusiasm by leveraging the various training platforms provided for them.
Adeleke further said his government would continue to support the scheme towards ensuring that its core mandate is achieved in the state.
The NYSC Coordinator in Osun, Agbor Obim, commended the state government for supporting the corps in achieving its established mandate.
Obim advised corps’ members to shun acts or behaviours that could tarnish the image and reputation of the scheme in the state, within their period of service, and urged them to embrace the ethics and principles guiding the one-year mandatory service to the country.
