The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu, has encouraged members of the 2025 Batch C corps to leverage their skills and knowledge to create opportunities and contribute to national development. In his farewell message, Nafiu congratulated the corps members on successfully completing their service year, commending them for their patriotism, resilience, and commitment to national service. He noted that their contributions to their host communities had demonstrated the importance of selfless service and national unity.
Nafiu highlighted the impact of the corps members' projects and the lives they had touched in their host communities, stating that these would remain part of their contributions to the country. He emphasized that their legacy of service would continue to inspire future generations and urged them to sustain the spirit of service beyond their time in the NYSC. The NYSC DG's message, signed by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, was a testament to the corps members' dedication and hard work.
The NYSC DG encouraged the outgoing corps members to utilize the knowledge and skills acquired through the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme to establish businesses and create employment opportunities. He urged them to become pioneers by creating opportunities for themselves and others, rather than relying solely on existing employment opportunities. This, he believed, would enable them to make a meaningful impact in their communities and contribute to national development.
Nafiu also charged the corps members to uphold the NYSC's core values of patriotism, integrity, efficiency, commitment, teamwork, and self-reliance in their personal and professional lives. He emphasized that these values should guide them in overcoming challenges, pursuing their ambitions, and taking up leadership responsibilities wherever they found themselves. By doing so, they would be able to make a positive impact and contribute to building a united and prosperous country.
The NYSC DG's message was a call to action for the corps members to continue making a difference in their communities. He urged them to use their skills and knowledge to create opportunities and contribute to national development. Nafiu's words of encouragement and advice were aimed at empowering the corps members to take the next step in their journey and make a meaningful impact in society.
As the corps members transition into the next phase of their journey, Nafiu wished them success and fulfilment in their future endeavours. He urged them to make meaningful contributions to society and continue to uphold the values of the NYSC. The NYSC DG's farewell message was a testament to the impact that the corps members had made during their service year and the potential they had to make a difference in the future.
The 2025 Batch C corps members have completed their national service, and Nafiu's message served as a reminder of the importance of their contributions. As they move forward, they will carry with them the skills and knowledge acquired during their service year, as well as the values of the NYSC. With these tools, they will be able to make a positive impact and contribute to building a better future for Nigeria.
