The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Alhaji Abdulrasak Babatunde Alabere, expressed his gratitude to the Governor for his unwavering support to the NYSC scheme in Kwara State.

The Permanent Secretary admonished the corps members to make humility, discipline, and commitment their watchword in order to complement the efforts of the NYSC Governing Board members and the State government.

Speaking further, he noted that the Governing Board members would also ensure that the corps members were posted to areas where their services would be mostly needed, assuring them that their contributions to the development of their host communities would be duly rewarded.

In his address, the State Coordinator, National Youth Service Corps, Mr. Onifade Olaoluwa Joshua, commended the Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for the procurement of 500 new mattresses for the orientation camp.

He also appreciated the corps members for their eagerness to go through the mandatory youth corps service, stating that various activities lined up would be entertaining and educating and advised them to strictly comply with all the rules required.
