Don’t lose faith in Nigeria –NYSC boss tells corps members

Anambra State coordinator of the  National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mr. Kehinde Aremu,  has charged corps members in the state not to lose faith in thecountry. He cautioned the corps members against acts that could further tarnish the image of the country.

Aremu spoke during an interactive session organised by the Accountability Lab Nigeria for corps members in the state. He said their little individual efforts at making the nation a home of honest and accountable people meant a lot.

The NYSC helmsman who recently bagged the Integrity Idol award, advised them to embrace honest living. He said, “It has become pertinent to mainstream the ideals of honesty, accountability and integrity into corps members because the scheme possesses the spread capable of sensitising and conscientising the grassroots towards imbibing such objectives.

He argued that Nigerians could be like Americans if the corps members agreed to enthrone the virtues of honesty, integrity and accountability. In his remarks, the team leader of the Accountability Lab, Samuel Emenogu, said the emphasis of his organisation was team building. He said its mission was to build hubs of integrity among colleagues in the civil service, which he believed would promote good governance.
