From Olanrewaju Lawal,Birnin Kebbi
A total number of 741 Batch A Stream 1 of 2022 Corps Members passed out in Kebbi State while six got an extension of service for various offences that contravened the National Youths Service Corps bye- laws. The Kebbi State NYSC state Coordinator, Mrs Agatha Okolo Banki made the revelations on Thursday during the passing out ceremony of the corps members held at NYSC Secretariat in Birnin Kebbi. While addressing the outgoing corps members, Banki who congratulated them, charged them to effectively put into practice, all the skills they have acquired during their one-year national service.
“NYSC has not only given you platforms to acquire loans, such as BOI, CBN, NYSC foundation, etc, to get you established, but it has also given you abundant knowledge which supersedes wealth,” she said.
She further commended their dedication, doggedness and immense contribution to the development of the state, especially in the educational and health sectors. Calling on them not to take their exiting the NYSC scheme as an end to their service to the nation but rather that they should see it as the opening of a new chapter for more positive contributions to the nation.
While urging them to shun all shades of deviant characters, she advised those who will be participating in the forthcoming elections, to be apolitical and be guided by the rules of INEC.
