The National
Youth Service Corps ( NYSC ), Oyo state, has disclosed that the 2016/17
batch B (stream1) Corps Members deployed to the state gave birth to no
fewer than 72 children.....
The Oyo state NYSC Coordinator, Mrs Ifeoma Anidobi made this known in an interview in Ibadan.
Anidobi noted that the state also
recorded 20 marriages by the corps members and three deaths out of the
total of 3,406 corps members passing out in the state on Thursday.
“The 3,406 consists of 1,504 males,
1,902 females, 3 members received state’s awards while 1 received
chairman’s award; 38 have commendation letters, 28 have disciplinary
cases.“Those with disciplinary cases are to serve extension of service ranging from two weeks to four months,” she said.
She urged the corps members not to view
the country’s economy negatively but to see it as an opportunity to
maximize their potential and utilise the knowledge acquired during Skill
Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development ( SAED ) training.
Anidobi assured them that the skills
would definitely help them not only to meet the expectations of the
society but overcome the challenges that may come thereafter.
“Develop positive attitude towards the
gains of the SAED programme, within a foreseeable future, you will not
only be smiling to the bank but will become a great force to reckon with
as outstanding entrepreneurs and industrialists,” she said.
The Coordinator further advised the
outgoing corps members to always strive to do the right thing at the
right time and abide by the law all the time.
She urged them to remain focused and be good ambassadors of the NYSC and their respective families.
Anidobi, however, commended the corps members for leaving their host communities better than they met them.
“As you take your final bow out of this prestigious, noble scheme, God will order your steps and make all crooked ways straight.
“The lines will fall into pleasant
places for you distinguished ones, safe journey to your respective
glorious destinies,” the coordinator prayed.
