She said the orientation course would commence with the formal opening and swearing-in ceremony on Friday, April 25, at 9:00 a.m.
”The executive governor of Edo, Senator Monday Okpebholo, is expected to declare the orientation course open, while the chief judge of the state will administer the oath of allegiance to the corps members,” she said.
The coordinator appreciated the people of Edo for their continued hospitality towards corps members and appealed for continued support throughout the service year.
”We are grateful to the good people of Edo for always welcoming corps members with open arms. We ask for your continued support to help these young Nigerians have a productive and memorable service year,” she added.
The NYSC boss assured that all necessary logistics and arrangements had been made to ensure a smooth and safe orientation exercise.
