As part of the activities to mark the celebration of the National Youth Service Corp's 50th anniversary themed; 5 decades of fostering unity and national development, the NYSC Osun State has embarked on a Unity Walk within the State metropolis.

The Unity Walk which was held nationwide in line with the directive from the Directorate Headquarters was the first in the lined up activities marking the golden jubilee of the NYSC.

Speaking at the flag off of the Walk on Monday, which started from the Secretariat in Osogbo to the popular Freedom Park, the Director Southwest Area, Mr Amusan Oluwole Julius, appreciated the Management of the Scheme in the State for mobilising Corps and for the organised planning of the Walk.

According to him, the NYSC Scheme which was at first a child of necessity birthed as a result of the civil war to rebuild, reconstruct and reconcile the nation has today become a household name spanning five decades. Amusan highlighted some of the many achievements of the Scheme stressing that the NYSC has over the years fostered unity and development.

He also stated that the Scheme has brought about developments in the educational, health, infrastructural and agricultural sector. Also, through the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED), the NYSC Scheme has equally succeeded in making the nation's graduate youths think and tend more towards Entrepreneurship than succumbing to the frustration of seeking employment which is scarce.

He then onished Corps to maintain orderliness and discipline during the Walk, guaranteeing their safety.

Speaking earlier, the NYSC Osun State Coordinator, Mr Agbor Ndoma Obim eulogised the Director General, Brig. Gen. YD Ahmed for approving the week-long celebration of the golden jubilee of the Scheme stressing that it was a well deserved honour and celebration.

Agbor said that the Scheme was created 22nd May, 1973 to unite and integrate the nation, instil discipline in the Nigerian youths, instil spirit of self reliance in the youths, among others. He said further that the golden jubilee is a special anniversary which the Scheme cannot but celebrate because of how far it has been able to achieve and is still achieving its objectives. He said programmes have been lined up to mark the golden anniversary which include: novelty match, lecture, thanksgiving, among others.

Agbor stated that the NYSC Scheme has been remarkably impactful in fostering unity and national development by promoting national integration, inculcating discipline among corps , building skills through its entrepreneurial programmes, etc, hence the need for a grand celebration.

He added that the essence of the walk is to create awareness among citizens concerning the activities of the Scheme. "We want the whole world to know about all that NYSC has been doing", he stressed.

Agbor appreciated the Director Southwest Area and his entourage for choosing to hold the Walk with the Osun State Secretariat and also applauded the Corps for turning out enmass to for the historic Unity Walk.

At the end of the event the Director, southwest Area, and the State Coordinator congratulated Corps for being able to successfully complete the Walk. "I asked that you should be orderly and you done just that. I am so proud of you all" were the words of the Area Director.

They also noted that the Walk was just the first activity in the anniversary celebration as other events are scheduled to hold from the 17th of May through 25th to mark the anniversary, hence, Corps are advised to continue working diligently, avoid unnecessary travels, and remain good ambassadors of the Scheme.

The walk was energy filled as Corps Member, NYSC officials, and even ers-by ed in dancing and singing to the life rhythm of the Scheme's life band and DJ mix.

Nothing gives an uneducated person joy more than

* Jobless Graduate on a Monday morning

* Jobless Graduate going to learn hand work , skills and trade from an uneducated person

* how a Jobless first class Graduate of Law, Engineering or Nursing became a fashion designer, plumber and Okada rider

* Jobless graduate becoming a cleaner after Japaing to UK



.

I'm here to see people express dissatisfactions.

The only fun in NYSC is the first week in camp.

Immediately that long SAED lectures start it becomes boring.

Lol. May God save and help us.

Meanwhile, Osun has very fine Female Corp

The government needs to modify this NYSC thing into a 1-year skill acquisition program and empower the graduates after the training. There are lots of skills that a graduate can acquire within 1 year, and at the end of it, they will be gainfully employed. The government needs to invest heavily in science and technology as well. Prospective students also need to choose a course wisely. Don't just choose a course because you want to go to a higher institution; choose a course because you want to make use of it after your graduation from the institution.

Nice one. We also want to appreciate Gowon for this initiative.

Why is that? To justify their illiteracy?

The irony of this NYSC is that PMB don't have this certificate but he is the president. So what use is it?
