A total of 3,704 2019 Batch ‘B’ Stream 1 corps members in Anambra
State on Thursday commenced collection of their discharge certificates
during the passing out ceremony across the state.
The ceremony which was low-keyed was organised under strict
observance of the social distancing and other COVID-19 directives in
compliance with the World Health Organisation standard.
The NYSC Coordinator in the state, Mr. Kehinde Aremu, in a chat with
newsmen in Aguata after touring some centers in the state, expressed
satisfaction with the conduct of the ceremony.
He said all the manpower of the scheme in the state was deployed to
all the local government areas in the state to ensure a seamless
exercise.
He said, “We’ve gone round all the centers. There was strict
compliance to the COVID-19 protocol. I also want to assure you that all
our officers were sent out to participate in the certificate
distribution.
“One other thing we’ve done is to stagger the distribution of the
certificate. We allocated days to each of the corps members across the
local governments depending on the numerical strength in each area.”
Aremu further disclosed that corps members who wished to travel out
of the state were at liberty to make such trips as the Director General
of the scheme; Shuaibu Ibrahim secured permission from the Inspector
General of Police, Mohammed Adamu to that effect.
“We’re excited that the DG, was able to link up with the IGP, the
Corps Marshall of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to ensure free
passage of corps members who wish to go back home during the lockdown.
“On our own part here, we’ve synergised with the Sector Command of
the FRSC as well as other security personnel to ensure easy passage of
our corps members,” he added.
Congratulating the corps members for their meritorious service year,
the Coordinator anounced three months service extension of four corps
members in the state over various offences.
“One thing I’m very sure is that with the kind of training and
orientation we’ve given the corps members, all through the year, they
will excel.
“Our target from the onset is that if we put the entire corps members
in the country together, those in Anambra will distinguish themselves
in terms of excellence, knowledge and comportment,” he added.
