Oyetola Urges NYSC Members To Promote National Integration, Peace
Osun state Governor Adegboyega Oyetola on Tuesday urged corps members to serve with integrity and foster national integration, peace and unity.
He also enjoined them to be good ambassadors of Nigeria by effecting change in their places of primary assignment, and deliver diligently on the mandate of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.
Oyetola said his administration remains committed to the welfare and general well-being of the prospective corps members serving in the state.
The governor gave the charge while delivering his goodwill message at the terminal parade which marks the end of the three-week orientation programme for the 2019 Batch ‘A’ corps members deployed in the state.
Oyetola who described NYSC as a symbol of unity, said it had become incumbent on corps members to take the advantage of their service year to strengthen ‘Nigeria’s unity in diversity’.
He admonished the corps members not to cut short the expectations of the people by influencing their postings for selfish gains.
Oyetola implored the corps members to translate the skills acquired in the course of their three weeks orientation exercise to bring development and impact positively in the lives of the people of their host communities.
“Take your health seriously. Health they say is wealth. Do not take your health for granted; always seek help at the right time Avail yourselves of the medical facilities put in place by the government and also those put in place by the management of the scheme in the State”, Oyetola stressed.
The NYSC state Coordinator, Mr Emmanuel Attah, admonished the corps members to shun all forms of indiscipline, corrupt practices, partisan politics, religious extremism, unauthorised journey and disrespect for the socio-cultural values of their host communities.
