The Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas (retd), has tasked newly posted members of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to promote moral and ethical values in everything they do.
He stated this on Friday at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Nonwa-Gbam, in Tai Local Government Area (LGA), during the swearing in of the 2025 Batch B Stream I Corps members deployed to the state.
Ibas, represented by the Secretary to the State Government and Chairman NYSC State Governing Board, Prof. Ibibia Worika, charged the corps members to align themselves with his administration’s character reformation agenda by building a society full of integrity, mutual trust, and discipline. He assured the corps members of the commitment of his administration to their security and welfare. He noted that 1,000 pieces of brand new mattresses and general renovation of hostels would be carried out by his government to create a conducive camping environment for them.
Earlier, the state coordinator NYSC, Mr. Moses Oleghe, enjoined the corps members to see themselves as the custodians of the hopes of Nigerians in building a nation of peace and economic prosperity.
He charged the corps members to change their mindset from negative perceptions of the country and become agents of positive change, builders of bridges of national unity and integration as well as torchbearers of a brighter future.
Justice Weli Amadi Chechey, who represented the Chief Judge of Rivers State, administered the oath of allegiance on the corps members.
A total of 2,002 corps members were sworn in on occasion, comprising 804 males and 1,198 females.
