The event took place at the New Multipurpose Hall, NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Wannune, Tarka Local Government Area.

"Security is everybody's business," Mrs. Garba stated, urging the 2024 Batch B2 Corps Members to actively engage in security practices and take personal responsibility for their safety. She encouraged them to fully participate in the orientation sessions, absorb relevant information, and receive the training designed to enhance their understanding of security issues.

Mr. Ajah Dickson, Head of the Lecture Series, also addressed the Corps Members, advising them to pay close attention and ask clear, pertinent questions during the lectures to avoid ambiguities and repetitions.

The lecture series featured a significant presentation by Dr. Emmanuel Alibiosu, a Security Consultant from the University of Abuja.
