At the ceremony, the State NYSC Coordinator, Mr. Moses Oleghe, charged the outgoing corps to carry the values of the NYSC Scheme wherever they go, as well as create wealth with their hands. In his address, Oleghe reminded them that “you have been loaded with core values of the NYSC scheme and therefore, you must be positive impact makers in any field of endeavor they find themselves going forward.”
The NYSC coordinator further enjoined them not to “wait and waste their time waiting for white-collar jobs but instead start a business to create wealth with their own hands. “Think outside the box by being creative, hard working, disciplined, focused, determined, and dedicated towards building a future of their dreams for themselves.”
