Corps Members Enlightened on Sustainable Development Goals at Camp Keffi

 In a significant initiative aimed at fostering global awareness and local action, Mr. Bulus Bitrus Fadin delivered a series of engaging lectures on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to the 2024 Batch B Stream II Corps members at the Magaji Dan Yamusa NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Keffi, Nasarawa State.

Mr. Fadin’s presentation, held on [Date], focused on the SDGs as a comprehensive framework for achieving a more equitable and sustainable future. He underscored the critical role of young people, especially corps members, in advancing these goals, which include eradicating poverty, promoting quality education, ensuring gender equality, and addressing climate change.

Covering all 17 SDGs, Mr. Fadin provided practical examples and outlined actionable steps that corps members can implement within their communities to contribute to the global agenda. He encouraged the corps members to adopt sustainable practices and become advocates for positive change throughout their service year and beyond.

"The SDGs are not just global targets; they are your targets as future leaders and active citizens of this country," Mr. Fadin emphasized. "As corps members, you have the power to inspire change at the grassroots level, and your actions today will shape the world of tomorrow."

In addition, Mr. Fadin urged the corps members to engage in community development projects aligned with the SDGs, such as environmental conservation, providing education to underprivileged children, and initiatives that empower women and youth.

The session concluded with an interactive discussion where corps members brainstormed ideas and strategies for implementing SDG-aligned projects in their respective places of primary assignment. This interactive component reinforced the NYSC’s commitment to equipping corps members with the knowledge and tools needed to drive sustainable development in their communities.

The event highlighted the NYSC’s dedication to integrating global development principles into the corps members' service experience, ensuring that they leave a positive and lasting impact on their communities.
