Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke of Osun has urged corps members posted to the state to be good ambassadors throughout their service year.
Adeleke gave the charge during the swearing-in ceremony of the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream I corps members held at the NYSC orientation camp, Ede, on Friday.
Represented by the commissioner for Youth Affairs, Mr Olagunju Moshood, the governor said that the scheme remains one of Nigeria’s most enduring institutions for promoting national integration and youth development.
He said, “Your presence here today marks the beginning of a defining chapter in your lives and the service year is not only a period of national obligation, but also a unique opportunity for personal growth, leadership development and meaningful contribution to society.
“The state has benefited greatly from the dedication and innovations of corps members, particularly in education, health, agriculture and community development.
“I advise corps members to be law-abiding, respectful and sensitive to the customs and traditions of their host communities because the people of Osun are warm and accommodating.”
Earlier, the Osun coordinator of NYSC, Ita Kubiangha, commended the state government for ensuring the safety of corps members and supporting the scheme.
Kubiangha said a total of 2,000 corps members, comprising 1,120 males and 880 females, were deployed to the state for the service year.
