Be Agents Of Positive Change, NYSC Ondo Boss Charges Corps Members

The State Coordinator made the charge in her speech during the low-key closing ceremony devoid of parade and funfair of the 2023 Batch ‘C’ (Stream II) orientation course.

Addressing the members of the service corps inside the Multipurpose Hall at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Ikare-Akoko, Mrs. Ani said that corps members should put to use all that they have learned during the three weeks orientation course so that the exercise would not be an effort in futility.

“My dear Kings and Queens, the three weeks you have spent in this orientation camp can be likened to a farm in which the farmer prepares the ground, plants seeds and expects bountiful harvest at the end of the farming season. Likewise, orientation course is prepared as a training ground where seeds of love, oneness, unity, sacrifice, commitment, selfless service, etc are planted in you with the hope that when you exit camp and commence the service year, all the things learnt will come to bear in your daily activities throughout the service year.

“As members of NYSC team and collaborating agencies, we have performed our obligatory assignment to see that you are purged of tribalism, religious bigotry, parochial sentiments and other vices that tend to divide us as a nation, rather you have been given new names such as change agents, nation builders, destiny moulders and influencers that the nation eagerly await their contributions to develop the country,” she stated.

The NYSC Ondo State boss disclosed that the citizens and residents of the most populous country in Sub-Saharan African expected much from them and that they cannot afford to fail them.
