Yesterday
Sunday May 26, 2015 marks the end of Batch A NYSC Orientation camp in all the
states in Nigeria. And today, Monday 27th 2015, the National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC), sent about 2, 300 corps members
to the Lagos State labour market, at the closing ceremony and end of 21-days
Orientation Course of the 2015 Batch ‘A’ Stream I corps members deployed to the
state.
This is
even as the NYSC Lagos State Coordinator, Mr. Cyril Akhanemhe, charged the
corps members to always maintain good character in their Places of Primary
Assignment (PPAs), noting that good character is better praised than
outstanding talent.
Akhanemhe
gave this charge the event held at the NYSC Lagos Orientation Camp, in
Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos, however advised the corps members to be worthy
ambassadors of the scheme and the nation.
He said:
“My dear corps members, the next 11 months depict the next step in your service
year. There has never been a better time to let the leaves of mediocrity fall
from your tree of live. Strive to excel in all your life endeavours. Excellence
is a lifestyle, not a coincidence.You will excel if you don’t internalize the
habit of excuses.
“May I
also remind you that good character is more to be praised than outstanding
talent. Most talents are to some extent a gift. Good character, by contrast is
not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece, by thought, courage and
determination.
“Therefore,
in discharging your duties in your Places of Primary Assignment and in
execution of your community development service activities, I urge you to
always maintain good character.”
The Lagos
NYSC boss also implored the corps members to be determined, dedicated and
self-disciplined, adding that “You will be posted to areas where your
contribution will be of high economic value such as Agriculture, Rural
infrastructure development, Health and Education. I urge you to ensure you leave
an indelible mark of excellent Performance in your various PPAs.”
Meanwhile,
in his address, Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, represented by the
Director, General Services Department, Ministry of Special Duties, Mr. Joseph
Abolude, urged the corps members to be agents of change, thus, to contribute
meaningfully to the socio-economic development of the state.
This is
even as he appealed to Lagosians, as well as employers of labour to open their
arms to receive the corps members, noting that this will enable them perform
maximally in contributing positively to the development of Lagos.
