In her address, the NYSC SAED Officer for Rivers State, Mrs. Caroline Chukwu, extended her heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Mfongang and the camp officials for their exceptional support. She praised their collective efforts in ensuring the success of the training program and emphasized the importance of continued commitment. “I urge you to maintain your dedication and enthusiasm as you perfect your skills during the post-camp phase,” Mrs. Chukwu advised. She also reassured the corps members that their Local Government Inspectors (LGIs), Zonal Inspectors (ZIs), and the SAED Schedule Officer are always available to support them in achieving their entrepreneurial dreams through the SAED platform.

The ceremony also featured the inter-platoon SAED competition, with 5 Platoon emerging as the overall best platoon. The competition showcased the various skills and innovations developed by the corps members during the training.
