“I therefore, enjoin you to continue to be law-abiding while also serving as role models for the younger ones”. Fadah said.

” I have received impressive reports on your participation in the entrepreneurial trainings conducted in Camp under the NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme.
” I encourage you to build on the skills acquired by availing yourselves of opportunities for post-camp training as this will go a long way in empowering you for self-reliance”. he said.
He cautioned the Corp members against Involvement in local politics and encouraged them to initiate personal development programs to benefit their host communities.
The DG equally urged them to continue observing the Covid-19 safety measures, as well as to avoid using the social media for peddling stories liable to deteriorate the unity and peace of the Nation.
