Be employer of labour like Dangote, NYSC Ondo boss charges Corps members

The NYSC Ondo Coordinator, Mrs Victoria Nnenna Ani has urged Corps members to protect their lives and secure their future by learning a skill that will stand them out among their peers and contemporaries, and renege from being a slave to indecision nor allow anything to distract them from the pathway to glory.

She equally lauded the giant strides of the NYSC members in showcasing in practical terms what they have learned during the 11 days of intensive in-camp training of the skill acquisition programme.

The State Coordinator expressed this deep thought while formally drawing curtains on the activities of the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme for the 2023 Batch ‘B’ (Stream 1) orientation course.

“Successful entrepreneurs like Otunba Mike Adenuga, Chief Femi Otedola, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Chief Tony Elumelu and some others started small and today, they are giants in their various endeavours and I want you to take the bull by the horn so that you will become successful entrepreneurs and employers of labour in the foreseeable future”.

Mrs Ani who exuded joy as a proud parent would do acknowledged the commitment and the sacrifice exhibited by the corps members during the Inter-Platoon competition which she described as a litmus test for the corps members to establish themselves as future entrepreneurs and employers of labour.

“I congratulate all those who participated in the competition/exhibition. You have shown the entire camp community that you can do it and your creativity and ingenuity will announce you to the world in due course.”

The NYSC Ondo State boss disclosed that NYSC will continue to create the enabling environment for the corps members to sharpen their skills and learn more under the post-camp training already in place and charged them to avail themselves of the windows of opportunity created by the management of the Scheme.

“We are not going to leave you to your destiny after camp as we have set all machinery in motion to monitor your activities and to ensure that your plans materialise. Get in touch with your Local Government Inspectors and SAED Schedule Officers in case of any challenge and they would offer both administrative and professional advice which I believe will help you out,” she said.
