The Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has urged the 2025 Batch B, Stream II National Youth Service Corps NYSC members deployed to the state to fully leverage the Scheme skill acquisition training programme to enhance their capabilities.
Fubara gave this charge during the closing ceremony of the 2025 Batch B, Stream II orientation exercise in the state, held on Tuesday.
The governor who was represented by the newly appointed Secretary to the State Government and Chairman of the NYSC State Governing Board, Mr. Benibo Anabraba, encouraged the corps members to embrace skill acquisition wholeheartedly, positioning themselves as future wealth creators and employers of labor.
“Take Rivers State as your home. Be assured of the warmth, hospitality, and accommodating disposition of the good of our people at all times.
“Take the skill acquisition and entrepreneurship development post camp training very seriously and equip yourselves with the capacity to compete favourably in the nation’s huge economic space.”
Fubara called on the corps members to see their mobilization into the NYSC Scheme as a fundamental way to provide humanitarian services.
“Remember that you owe it to yourself, family, and the nation, the responsibility to serve selflessly and honourably.”
In his farewell address, the NYSC State Coordinator, Mr. Moses Oleghe appealed to the corps members to use the opportunity of the service year to discover their true purpose.
Oleghe further encouraged them to embody selfless service and empathy in serving the people.
