“It is equally important to let you know that our people cherish respect a lot and they can go to any length to integrate you into the mainstream of their industrial and business activities” he said.

While promising to cater for the welfare and security of corps members during the service year, Governor Aiyedatiwa declared that the government will continue to support the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Scheme in the State at all times to ensure that the corps members have a memorable service year.
