The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Anambra State has encouraged corps members to continue developing their skills through post-camp mentorship and practice as they move into their primary assignments.
The State Coordinator of NYSC, Pauline Ojisua, made this appeal during the closing ceremony of the 2025 Batch ‘A’ Stream I Orientation Exercise held at the Nnamdi Azikiwe NYSC Unity Camp in Umuawulu/Mbaukwu, Awka South Local Government Area.
She highlighted that the orientation programme was designed to equip corps members with the right knowledge, discipline, and resilience to face challenges during their service year, especially through the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) sessions.
Ojisua urged the corps members to not only engage actively in Community Development Service (CDS) but also to initiate meaningful projects in their host communities that could leave lasting impacts.
“As you move to various communities across Anambra, remember this is only the beginning of your journey. Identify needs in your area, plan viable projects, and leave a legacy. The skills you’ve learned here are seeds—nurture them,” she said.
She also acknowledged the contributions of Governor Chukwuma Soludo and other community leaders and stakeholders for their support. Special appreciation was given to the Golden 20 Association in Awgbu for building three modern corps lodges.
In her closing remarks, Ojisua commended the camp officials and security personnel for their professionalism and declared the orientation exercise officially closed on behalf of NYSC Director General, Brigadier General YD Nafiu. She encouraged the corps members to serve with pride and make a meaningful difference.
