Corps members have been charged to  be involved in nation building and do things that will promote unity and peaceful co-existence.

Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola gave the charge  during the closing ceremony and terminal parade, marking the end of the three-week orientation course for the 2019 Batch ‘B’ Stream ll Corps members, at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Orientation Camp, Ede.

Oyetola, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Dr. Charles Akinola tasked the 1,800 corps members to use the skills and training acquired during the course of their orientation to impact positively on the lives of the people of their host communities as well as in their various places of primary assignments.

The governor also urged the corps members to use the opportunity given them by the scheme to discover themselves and pursue things that can help them harness their potentials productively so as to achieve great things in life.

“My dear compatriots, now that you have been exposed to and fully equipped with the skills needed to help you excel, not only during the service year, but also hereafter, I urge you to put these skills and training into good use.

“Ensure you play your role in nation building effectively without bitterness or rancour, as these are emotions capable of incapacitating and limiting you from achieving optimally in life.

“As you have successfully completed the first cardinal programme of the NYSC, I want you to exhibit the same spirit and discipline in ensuring that you participate actively in the other three cardinal programmes of the orientation exercise.
