Gov. Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers, has assured corps members of his administration’s commitment to providing them with top-notch welfare and security while serving in the state.
Fubara gave the assurance at the closing ceremony of the 2026 Batch A Stream I orientation course for corps members deployed to the state, at Nonwa-Gbam Tai Local Government Area, Rivers.
The governor, represented by Mr Samson Dede, Permanent Secretary, Special Services Bureau, Office of the Secretary to the State Government, urged the corps members to serve selflessly and leave lasting legacies in their host communities and the state at large.
He noted that the ongoing renovation of camp facilities would be speedily completed, describing Rivers as “a home away from home” for corps members.
The NYSC Coordinator, Mr Moses Oleghe, urged corps members to shine as beacons of hope by dispelling the darkness of tribalism, ethnic bigotry, and corruption.
Oleghe advised them to make a meaningful difference during their service year by contributing selflessly to the lives of others, particularly members of their host communities.
He appealed to employers at corps members’ places of primary assignment to provide a suitable and conducive environment that would enable them to thrive while carrying out their duties.
Oleghe also commended the governor for his massive and unwavering support for the NYSC scheme in the state.(NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
