…Tasks NYSC Members On Founding Fathers’ Vision
President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria has advised Batch “A” 2010 members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), to make judicious use of the vision of the founding fathers of the scheme which they imbibed during their service year.
President Jonathan gave this advice yesterday in Port Harcourt during the passing-out programme of the Batch “A” 2010 Corps members deployed to Rivers State.
The President, whose address was presented by the Deputy Governor of Rivers State, Engr. Tele Ikuru who represented the State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi said his administration was sure that the scheme had impacted positively on the lives of the nation’s youths, adding that it had contributed to Nigeria’s social harmony and unity, urging the passing-out corps members to apply the experience they acquired through the scheme in administering on-going task to build an egalitarian society.
Dr. Jonathan explained that his administration strives to adopt the best practices in governance, providing infrastructural facilities and education to the people, expressing optimism that the corpers would use education, the springboard of the scheme as a veritable instrument for national change.
On his part, Governor Amaechi, noted that the corpers had rendered selfless service to the various communities in the State where they discharged their primary assignments, commending them for their successful service year, assuring them that the State Government would meet all their entitlements within one week.
Also speaking, the chairman of NYSC Governing Board and former Secretary to the State Government, represented by the Permanent Secretary, Special Services, Office of the State Government, Mr. Solvens Okari also commended the corpers for successfully completing their service year in the State, stating that five corpers would receive the State Honour’s Award, four, the Chairman’s Award while five would receive the State Co-ordinator’s letter of commendation for their outstanding performance in the State.

In her address, the State coordinator of NYSC, Mrs. Esther Wogbo expressed gratitude to chairmen of local government areas, traditional rulers and people of the state for their magnanimity to the corps members posted to their communities, commending Batch “A” 2010 corpers for their meritorious service, stating that some corps members distinguished themselves in their services in the communities which would earn them various awards.
