Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has advised the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II corps members posted to Osun to be law-abiding and remain neutral in the August 15 governorship election.
Mr Adeleke gave the advice on Thursday at the swearing-in and official opening ceremony of the orientation course at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Ede.
Two thousand, six hundred corps members, comprising 1,400 females and 1,200 males, were deployed to Osun for their service year.
The Governor noted that the presence of corps members deployed to Osun reflected the NYSC’s vision of promoting national unity, integration and mutual understanding among Nigerians.
He said, “Osun remains a peaceful and accommodating state where corps members can live, learn and contribute meaningfully to society.
“The orientation course remains a vital component of the service year and is designed to instil discipline, leadership qualities and resilience in participants.
“The course will expose corps members to paramilitary drills, lectures, skills acquisition programmes and social activities needed for effective service delivery.”
Mr Adeleke also advised corps members to participate actively in all camp activities and take full advantage of the opportunities provided.
Mr Adeleke reiterated his administration’s commitment to the welfare and security of corps members in the state.
“I encourage you to integrate with your host communities, respect local customs and contribute positively to socio-economic development. As you may be aware, Osun will be approaching a gubernatorial election in August, and you are expected to remain neutral, professional and committed to the rules guiding your service,” he said.
