The National Youth Service Corps NYSC in Ebonyi State Southeast Nigeria has charged the newly sworn-in corps members to promote national integration and unit during and after their service year.

“As you are aware, one of the objectives of NYSC is the promotion of National Unity and Integration. This informs your deployment away from your States of origin and your assemblage here from diverse ethics, religious and socio-economic background,” Ibrahim stated.
He implored them to sustain the high level of discipline they have demonstrated so far.
He thanked the House of Representatives for the progress made so far in legislative process on the bill for establishment of NYSC Trust Fund.
