The Taraba State Governor, Dr Agbu Kefas has on Tuesday called on Corps members posted to serve in the State to always be diligent and dedicated to the course of duty in serving their father’s land.
Agbu gave the charged during the opening ceremony of Batch ‘A’ stream 1 orientation course at the permanent orientation camp, Sibere in Ardo-kola, local government area of the State.
Represented by the State commissioner of Youths and sports, Mr Joshua Joseph, Agbu noted that his administration is committed to the welfare of the corps members in the State.
“As you formally begin the orientation course today, I enjoin you to pay rapt attention to all scheduled training activities, instructions and lectures. It may interest you to know that these self-enriching packages of the scheme were deliberately developed to help prepare you for the numerous task ahead.
“You are therefore expected to open your mind during this orientation course. Embrace each other’s behavioural tendencies and cultural differences.
I equally implore you to make friends and mix with corps members from other Geo- political zones and backgrounds. This move will readily help to enhance National unity, Integration and cohesion.
“My administration is committed to the development of vital sectors of the State’s economy such as; Education, Agriculture, Sports, Tourism, Health Care Services, infrastructure and the general well- being of all inhabitants of the state. As agents of change, I enjoin you to utilize this opportunity to study any of the sectors where you fit in and contribute to its improvement.
“I wish to re-assure the operators of the scheme, Corps Employers, and other stakeholders that we will always support and assist the NYSC to fulfill its objectives and mandate for the good people of our dear State.
“I commend the Management and entire Staff of the NYSC and members of the Collaborating Agencies for flagging off this orientation exercise on a sound note. I urge them to work as a team in order to achieve the desired result at the end of the exercise.”
