May I use this opportunity to congratulate all passing out corps members (Batch B) of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) A journey that seems very uncertain in the beginning is coming to a joyful end. Though the scheme has lost its original aims and objectives yet it is a desired activity for every fresh Nigerian graduate that falls within the age limit of 30 years “Your service to the nation will never be forgotten,” “the highest standards of ethics and conduct exhibited by some of you will go a long way both as a positive reflection on peaceful co-existence of Nigerians and to inspire our future leaders to do great things.”
We thank God for both the good and bad experiences you had in course of your service to the nation. Now, you about entering the labour work force enter the real world; get a job, commensurate with your talents. Face the life after service. Have the world treat you for yourself, not your title. May you utilize the positive experiences gained within this service years to better yourself and humanity.
Finally, as I congratulate you all for obeying the clarion call, permit me to dedicate this piece to my adorable, Pat Mgbechi Elebochi. Nnem, you served under the sun and in the rain. With dedication and selflesness. I doff my cap for you. Bravo! Like the Germans would say “Bis bann” See you soon!
