Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has urged corps members deployed to the state to be outstanding in good virtues.
The governor said this during the official opening/swearing-in ceremony for 2024 Batch A Stream 1 corps members at the NYSC permanent orientation camp on Tuesday, in Ikot Itie Udung, Nsit Atai, Akwa Ibom.
Represented by Mr Monday Uko, Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, said that they should stay away from use of hard drugs and cult activities, to avoid destroying their future, according to News Diary.
“You should concern yourselves with those virtues that will stand you out as outstanding individuals in this camp and throughout the service year,” Eno said.
He assured corps members that the state government had taken necessary measures to ensure the safety of their lives and property.
The governor said that he was aware of the needs of the camp, assuring the corps members of improved facilities during their stay.
Eno called on corps members to take the orientation course seriously and internalise the lessons, being as an integral part of the service year.
