Let Your Moral Values Be Visible, Ibas Tells Corps Members
The Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd.) has urged corps members to promote moral and ethical values in everything they do especially now that they have been formally inducted into the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC).
Ibas gave the charge last Friday at the NYSC permanent orientation camp, Nonwa-Gbam, Tai LGA, during the swearing in ceremony of 2025 Batch B Stream I Corps Members deployed to Rivers State.
This was contained in a statement by the Head of Press Unit, Office of the Secretary to the State Government, Juliana Masi, last Friday.
The Administrator, represented by the Secretary to the State Government and Chairman NYSC State Governing Board, Prof. Ibibia Worika, charged the corps members to align themselves with his administration’s character reformation agenda by building a society full of “integrity, mutual rust, and discipline.”
He assured them of his commitment to security and welfare, noting that renovation of hostels will be imminently carried out to create a conducive camping environment for them.
Earlier, the State Coordinator of NYSC in the State, Mr. Moses Oleghe, had enjoined the corps members to see themselves as the, “custodians of the hopes of Nigerians in building a nation of peace and economic prosperity.”
Oleghe further charged the corps members to see themselves as agents of positive change, builders of bridges of national unity and integration, as well as torchbearers of a brighter future.
The administration of the oath of allegiance was administered by Justice Weli Amadi Chechey, who represented the Chief Judge of Rivers State.
A total of 2,002 corps members were sworn in at the occasion comprising 804 males and 1198 females.
