He said that the NYSC would not cheapen the SAED programmes by accepting the proposal with shallow content from would-be stakeholders.

The Delta NYSC Coordinator, Mr Omotade Ayodele said that the deliberate investment by the Delta State Government coupled with the strategic intervention of the NYSC management would enhance the viability of the project.

Omotade said that when the project was completed it would be a model for an all-around complete and inclusive training of corps members.

He said that the construction of the four-room SAED centre would assure management of its preparedness to ensure that varieties of initiatives were aimed at promoting skills training and self-reliant activities among corps members in Delta.

The coordinator commended the NYSC D-G and the management for choosing Delta State Permanent Orientation Camp among the pioneer beneficiaries of the initiative.

He assured the management that the project would redefine purposeful collaboration with privacy concerns in the critical operation of the scheme.
