In his remarks, the Rivers State NYSC Coordinator, Mr Moses Oleghe, charged the corps members to be good ambassadors of the scheme by promoting unity and peaceful coexistence. He urged them to reject tribalism, hate speech, and corruption, and instead lead by example wherever they are posted.
Oleghe also appealed to employers of corps members to provide a safe and supportive working environment that would enable them to perform effectively. He commended Governor Fubara for his continued support to the NYSC scheme and the development of the orientation camp in the state.
Speaking on behalf of the corps members, Ono Precious and Victor Ezeji expressed appreciation for the training received during the orientation course. They said the programme had equipped them with useful skills, discipline, and good morals, adding that they were ready to make meaningful contributions to communities across Rivers State.
