49 corps members out of 3,660 deployed to Rivers State to serve the one year National Youth Service Corps NYSC, under the 2025 Batch C, have been sanctioned.
36 of them made you if 18 males and 18 females had their service year extended while 13 others, made up of eight males and five females will repeat the entire service year.
Unfortunately, two other male corps members paid the supreme sacrifice for the fatherland during the service.
Addressing the corps members during the low key passing out event which held on Thursday, at the Convocation Arena, Rivers State University, Nkpolu Orowurukwo, Port Harcourt, the State Coordinator, Mr Moses Oleghe, urged them to “continue to sustain and strengthen the noble values NYSC inculcated in you in the service year.”
Oleghe commended the corps members over what he described as their outstanding contribution to the growth and development of the state.
The State NYSC boss further charged them to “always put your integrity in high esteem at all times especially as you will be deployed for Independent National Electoral Commission INEC ad-hoc duties during the 2027 general election.
“Put into good use the skills acquired during the service year by investing your time and talent on it.”
Oleghe also warned the corps members against night travels and urged them to uphold patriotism, peace, unity and prosperity of the country at all times.
