NYSC Members during Orientation course/venturesafrica.com
Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Osun Emmanuel Attah has revealed that 80 percent of corps members deployed to the State will teach in schools.
Attah noted this on Thursday at the opening ceremony of the 2018 Batch B orientation course at the NYSC Camp in Ede.
“We have so far registered 2,292 corps members and about 80 percent of those deployed in the state will be deployed in secondary schools to teach,” Attah told Punch.
“Corps members have been performing wonderfully well and I believe they have been doing their best and the state will not forget their contributions. Each stage has peculiar needs and they are needed in schools here.
“The education sector is a very good place where they can exhibit their skills and knowledge. They will start giving back to society by teaching the pupils and I think it is a good one.”
He added that, “We are also urging the corps members to as much as possible, make themselves relevant through selfless service, diligence and faithful discharge of their duties both in camp and after.
“They should utilise this one year of service by making every day, every week, every month count. They need to add value to themselves so much so that they would become too relevant to be ignored after the service year.”
