Kogi State Governor Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo has urged National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving in the state to dedicate themselves to community development initiatives throughout their service year.
The Governor, represented by his Deputy, Comrade Joel Salifu, made the call during the closing ceremony for the 2025 Batch ‘A’ Stream I corps members at the NYSC permanent orientation camp in Asaya, Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area.
Governor Ododo emphasized the importance of excellent performance, assuring the corps members that their efforts will be duly acknowledged and rewarded at the conclusion of the program.
He urged them to make a lasting impact in areas such as healthcare delivery, community development service, agriculture, social services, and education.
The Governor reassured the corps members of their safety and the warm hospitality of the state, advising them to remain vigilant and execute their responsibilities effectively at their respective places of assignment.
In a gesture of support, Governor Ododo allocated over N23 million for transportation, which will be distributed at N20,000 each to the 1,166 corps members departing the orientation camps to their places of primary assignment.
Earlier, the State Coordinator of NYSC, Mr. Femi Osungbohun, had implored the corps members to apply the knowledge acquired during the orientation course to contribute meaningfully to their homeland.
He commended the Governor for his consistent support of the scheme, particularly the generous donation of over 100 bags of 50kg rice to the 2025 Batch A Stream I Corps Members.
