The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has advised
members of the 2024 Batch B Stream I, who have just concluded their service
year, to focus on wealth creation.
Mr Moses Oleghe, NYSC Coordinator in Rivers State,
gave the charge on Tuesday during the passing-out ceremony of corps members
held in Port Harcourt.
He reminded the corps members of the core values
instilled in them throughout their service year and encouraged them to become
agents of positive change in the society.
Oleghe discouraged the pursuit of white-collar jobs as
the sole path to success, urging the corps members to embrace entrepreneurship
and self-reliance.
“Creativity, hard work, discipline, focus,
determination and dedication are the ingredients needed to achieve your
aspirations.
“Rather than wait for white-collar jobs, outgoing
corps members should channel their energy into establishing businesses and
creating wealth with their own hands,” he advised.
Presenting service statistics, Oleghe disclosed that a
total of 2,302 corps members had successfully completed their service year in
Rivers.
He noted that regrettably, two corps members died
during active service, while 17 – comprising seven males and 10 females – had
their service extended.
Additionally, the NYSC coordinator reported that two
corps members were granted pardon, while 23 others – 13 males and 10 females –
absconded from service.
