On his part, General Dada described NYSC as a symbol of national unity, adding that the deployment policy of posting Corps Members outside their State of Origin had exposed many of them to different cultures, values, and beliefs of other tribes across the country.

He said many ex-Corps Members have become self-reliant through the NYSC entrepreneurship training they were exposed to, during their service year.

The GOC also poured encomiums on the NYSC Director General for his uncommon leadership style which had positively transformed the Scheme since his assumption of duty.

Speaking earlier, Brigadier General Ahmed thanked the officers and men of the division for their immense support to the National Youth Service Corps Secretariats within their areas of jurisdiction.

He however solicited more security assistance, especially through patrols on NYSC formations, Corps Lodges among others.

While addressing Corps Members during his visit to Enugu State Orientation Camp in Awgu, Brigadier General YD Ahmed warned them against night traveling and any act that can endanger their lives.

He stated that NYSC Management had partnered with security agencies to provide maximum protection for them throughout their service year.

The NYSC Coordinator in Enugu State, Mrs. Christianah Salmwang in her camp report to the Director General said the relationship between NYSC in the state and the State Government has been very cordial.

She attributed the success recorded so far during the Orientation Exercise to the cooperation among the entire camp officials and the 1,573 Corps Members comprising 785 male and 788 females.
