Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has tasked corps members to sustain the spirit of patriotism, hard work and resilience which they have imbibed during the orientation course to move the nation forward.
He gave the task at the closing ceremony of the 2023 Batch ‘A’ Stream II Orientation Course in Okada, Edo State.
The governor, represented by Kingsley Ehigiamusoe, Chief of Staff to the Deputy Governor, said they should strive to meet the expectations of Nigerians by contributing towards the progress and development of the country.
“My dear compatriots, as you begin the next phase of the service, I urge you to sustain the spirit of patriotism, hard work and resilience, which you imbibed during the Orientation Course.
“It is my ardent hope that you will strive to meet the expectations of Nigerians by contributing towards the progress and development of our dear country”, Obaseki said.
Governor Obaseki further admonished them to avoid the use of social media for ethnic jingoism, rumour peddling and the promotion of hatred rather their activities online should be targeted at self-improvement as well as for the promotion of unity, peace and development of the country.
Advising them further, the governor said they must be wary of acts that can portray the scheme in a bad light, especially drug abuse and trafficking, cybercrime and advanced fee fraud.
On the part of the scheme state’s coordinator, Oladeinde Foluke, she said the three weeks of training received on camp has not only instilled in them the core values of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme but has also impacted positively in them the readiness to embark on developmental projects that will help uplift the nation.
