Adamawa Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri has urged corps members to put the skills they learned in orientation to good use during their service year and beyond.
Fintiri made the announcement on Tuesday during the closing ceremony of the 2021 Batch ‘C’ Stream II Orientation Course at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Damare, Girei Local Government Area, Adamawa.
Fintiri, represented by Mr Macwell Gidado, Chief of Staff, Government House, stated that the orientation course was one of the essential ingredients required for corps members to excel during the service year and beyond.
He stated that Adamawa is still a NYSC-friendly state with numerous opportunities for corps members to explore.
The governor stated that a number of ex-corps members had established themselves in various endeavors and married from the state.
“Worth mentioning is Dr. Nayi Oriolowo of Osun State, the owner of Peace Hospital, one of the state’s leading private hospitals.”
“This is just one of the many ex-corps members,” he explained.
He urged corps members to accept their assignments in good faith and to contribute positively to the development of their host communities.
Malam Ibrahim Tukur, NYSC State Coordinator, warned corps members against night travel and unauthorised travel in his remaks.
Tukur praised Fintiri for his approval of the permanent orientation camp’s perimeter fencing.
He stated that the scheme would continue to deploy corps members to support the state government’s grassroots-oriented policies and programs.
Mr Aloysius Babadoke, State Chairman, NYSC Governing Board, also spoke and urged corps members to accept their postings in good faith and contribute positively in their primary assignments.
He also advised them to put their skills acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development training into practice.
