The NYSC Ondo State Coordinator, Mrs. Kuburat Omowumi Bakare has applauded corps members for their unwavering commitment to national development.
The State Coordinator expressed this appreciation in her farewell address read during the Passing out event for the 2023 Batch 'C' (Stream 1) corps members.
Addressing the elated outgoing corps members at the NYSC Zonal Office located at Oda Road, in Akure, the NYSC Ondo State boss asserted that they have demonstrated the true spirit of NYSC, promoting unity, peace and progress of the nation, Nigeria.
"As you prepare to move into the next phase, I urge you to take the skills, knowledge and experiences gained during the service year and apply them to make a positive impact in your communities and the world at large".
Bakare said that the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme they have been exposed to during the orientation course as well as post-camp training they greatly invested in has no doubt made them potential entrepreneurs and fledging industrialists.
"With the acquired skills, the nation is looking forward to your making this country an industrialised hub again" she averred.
She told them that the skills they had acquired in various sectors were tools to empower others and drive positive change the society desired.
The Coordinator admonished them to be extraordinarily kind and continue to be ambassadors of peace and unity, while at the same time charged them to utilise their skills to create opportunities for employment as thorough-bred entrepreneurs, innovators, and responsible leaders of tomorrow.
The NYSC helmsman in Ondo State, while wishing them success in their future endeavours and prosperity in their chosen careers, committed them in God's able hands for direction in all their future commitments.
In all, 1,097 who served the nation meritoriously during the mandatory one year programme were rewarded with deserving Certificate of National Service (CNS) while 7 others got extension of service for not living up to expectations.
However, 20 others who failed to abide by the provisions of the NYSC Act and Bye-Law and failed to render services for a continuous period of one year would repeat the service, subject to the approval of the Directorate Headquarters.
