The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has extended service year of four Corps members in Kebbi State out of 292 while one also got service year repeated.
VerseNews reports that the State Coordinator of the scheme, Mrs. Okolo Agatha Banki, confirmed this while addressing batch C stream II Corps members on Friday during their passing out ceremony..
In her farewell address,she said: “I am proud to say that a total number of 292 Corps Members are exiting the Scheme and would be awarded the certificate of National Service, 4 Corps members will have their service year extended,while one Corps Member will repeat the service year for failing to confirm to the dictates of the NYSC as stipulated in the NYSC Bye- Laws”.
Banki, while wishing them best of luck outside NYSC,commended their dedication, doggedness and immense contributions to the development of Kebbi State especially in the education and health sectors.
According to her, “also, I commended those of you who went the extra mile to distinguish yourselves in your host communities by carrying out community development service activities that improved the lives of those communities.
“You may not have won an award, but your names are printed in gold in the sands of time. We celebrate you,you are our ambassadors and we believe that you will not let us down”.
“As you take a bow out of the NYSC scheme,it does not mean it is an end to your service to the nation but rather, the opening of a new chapter of more positive contributions to our great nation, Nigeria “.
She urged them to shun all deviant behaviours, putting effective usage of the skills learnt during their service year into practice so that they could be employers of labour,rather than job’s seekers.
