Agha-Mba advised them to use their time during the orientation course to identify the skills they are interested in and passionate about.

“The NYSC as a scheme has four cardinal programmes: Orientation, Primary Assignment, Community Development Services and Winding Up and Passing out Programme. This orientation course which you have begun is the first cardinal programme. It is carefully articulated to expose you to the operations of the scheme. It is also targeted at preparing you adequately to be able to navigate successfully through all the primary programmes.
“Moreover, the period is for leadership, physical, mental training as well as skills acquisition and entrepreneurship development. May I state without any equivocation that discipline is emphasised here. The essence is to make all the prospective corps members benefit maximally from the orientation exercise as the content of the orientation is rich and full capacity.”
Mrs Iruma further charged all the prospective corps members to make themselves ready to participate actively in all camp activities.
She also appreciated Governor Soludo and the NYSC Director-General Brig Gen YD Ahmed, NYSC Director South East Area Office for being solidly behind the activities of the scheme in the state. Iruma equally thanked the security agencies and camp officials for their cooperation and dedication.
