2021 BATCH B STREAM II PASSING OUT: Uphold the ideals of the scheme as you commence the next phase of your lives-Imoni tells Ex-corps members
By Margaret Dakama
The State Coordinator NYSC Gombe, Mrs Ada Imoni has called on the 2021 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Corps members to uphold the ideals of the NYSC by being good ambassadors of the Scheme as they commence the next phase of their lives.
Mrs Imoni, made that known in an address delivered in the eleven Local Government Areas of Gombe State at a low-key ceremony presided over by Officers from the State Secretariat.
Speaking on self reliance, the State Coordinator enjoined them to put to use Skills acquired through the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Programme to start up businesses in order to be entrepreneurs and employers of labour, urging them not to despise meagre beginnings.
“The NYSC introduced the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Programme in 2012 to equip Corps members with the necessary skills for self reliance and to augment the allowance paid by the Federal Government. It is my belief that you have been groomed and refined for the next phase of your lives.
“It is high time we stopped depending on the Government for white collar jobs and think of ways to fend for ourselves,” she said.
Periscope Nigeria reports that a total of 445 Corps members are set to pass out today in Gombe State, out of which three absconded from service and six got extension of service for various offences committed.
