She also emphasized its role in promoting national unity and integration among Nigeria’s diverse tribes. “To achieve this, the service has been carefully planned and segmented into four cardinal programmes namely: Orientation, Primary Assignment, Community Development Service (CDS), and the winding-up/passing out,” Oladeinde added.

Mrs. Foluke noted that the orientation course, spanning three weeks, is structured to instill discipline, self-reliance, and necessary skills in the corps members to navigate challenges during their service year and beyond.
