Mrs Pauline Ojisua, Coordinator of NYSC in Anambra made the commendation at the swearing-in of 1,626 new corps members for the.2025 Batch B stream 1 orientation course on Friday.
Ojisua said that the solar powered street lights had significantly improved security and visibility in the camp especially at night.
She also commended a group , “Golden 20 Group of Awgbu”, for constructing three lodges for corps members in Awgbu community.
“I must take a moment to shine a light on some truly incredible acts of generosity we have witnessed and are profoundly grateful for them.
“These kind gestures really speak volumes about their belief in the NYSC scheme and their commitment to the well-being of our young people,” she said.
Ojisua, who said that the number of new inductees included 840 males and 746 females, described the orientation course as not just a few weeks of activities, but the very foundation of the service year.
She said that the programme was meant to equip corps members with the skills, knowledge and discipline they would need to thrive, during their service year and beyond.
The coordinator, appreciated the Anambra government for its unwavering support for the scheme and reminded them of the erosion menacing threatening some parts of their camp’s landscape.
“As of today, I am thrilled to tell you that we have successfully registered 1,626 bright and promising corps members for this stream, comprising 840 males and 746 females.
“From what we have seen, the corps members are settling in beautifully arranged camp and their energy is infectious. They are eager to learn, grow and contribute their parts to the development of Anambra.
“We also have a need for more adequate accommodation for our camp officials,” she said.
Welcoming the newly deployed corps members, Gov. Chukwuma Soludo, urged them to be active builders of a stronger, more united and prosperous Nigeria.
Soludo was represented by Mr Patrick Aghamba, Commissioner for Youth Development in the state.
The governor said that his administration was building the foundations for a productive economy with focus on enabling an environment for entrepreneurship and attracting investments.
He urged them to be good ambassadors of the NYSC, their families, alma maters and states of origin by upholding the highest standards of integrity, discipline and professionalism.
“Be law-abiding, respectful of our customs, and mindful of your security, avoid unnecessary night travels and always inform your local inspector and colleagues of your movements, your safety is non-negotiable.
“Approach your place of primary assignment with dedication, humility and a solutions-oriented mindset.
“Whether you are posted to a school, hospital, government office, or private firm, strive to make a tangible, positive difference at the place,” he advised.
