The Ondo State Government has said it will collaborate with the National Youth Service Corps to help corps members posted to the state to become self-reliant.

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu said this during a ceremony for the 2019 Batch ‘A’ corps members posted to the state in Ikare Akoko on Monday.

Represented on the occasion by the state Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Mr Saka Yusuf-Ogunleye, the governor said by acquiring vocational skills the lives of the corps members would improve economically.

Akeredolu said, “We are committed as partners in progress to improving the lives of our corps members economically by collaborating with the NYSC.

“We will do our best for the corps members as a responsible government.”

The state coordinator of the corps, Mrs Grace Akpabio, told the corps members to take advantage of the various platforms to prepare themselves for the challenges of the service year and post-service life.
