Demonstrate Commitment In Improving Host Communities, Ibas Tells Corps Members 

Rivers State Administrator, Vice Admiral (Rtd.) Ibok-Ete Ibas, has enjoined National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) members serving In the State to demonstrate utmost commitment to their host communities.

Ibas stated this recently during the closing ceremony of 2025 Batch A Stream II orientation course for Corps members deployed to the State at the NYSC permanent orientation camp, Nonwa-Gbam in Tai Local Government Area.

This was contained in a statement by the Head of the Press Unit, Office of Secretary to State Government, Juiana Masi.

The Administrator, represented by the Secretary to the State Government and Chairman, NYSC State Governing Board, Prof. Ibibia Lucky Worika, expressed delight at the  discipline exhibited throughout the orientation course by the Corps members through active participation in all camp activities.

He described the positive conduct of the Corps members as commendable and heartwarming.

The Administrator further encouraged the Corp members to, “always remember that you owe the nation the responsibility to serve selflessly and leave enduring legacies in your host communities and places of primary assignment. Avoid acts that will tarnish the good image of the NYSC Scheme.

“Integrate well in your host community and ensure that you respect their cultures and traditions.”

Earlier, the State Coordinator of NYSC in the State, Mr. Moses Oleghe, in his farewell address, had advised the Corps members to make maximum use of the Service Year to “explore their passion, develop their skills and gain insights that will shape their future.”

He reminded them that the essence of the Service Year is to positively impact the lives of the people.

A total of 2,302 Corps members comprising 931 males and 1,371 females successfully completed the orientation exercise in the State.
