Eddy Megwa, the director of press at the NYSC headquarters in a statement said Dada gave the commendation when he hosted YD Ahmed, the director general of the NYSC in his office.
Dada described NYSC as a symbol of national unity, adding that the deployment policy of posting corps members outside their state of origin has exposed many graduate youths to know different cultures, values and beliefs of other tribes across the country.
