Commandant of the Nigerian Navy Centre for Education and Training Technology, Navy Captain Aondowase Mnguve, has commended the NYSC Osun State for its never-ending efforts in breeding patriotic, selfless citizens.

He made this known during his courtesy call to the State Coordinator, NYSC Osun State, Mrs. Olayinka Abdulwahab at the Secretariat, on Wednesday.

While applauding the State Coordinator for her warm welcome and prompt response to the request for the visit, he established that the Navy has always had a smooth relationship with the Scheme.

The Senior Naval Officer stated that the essence of their visit is to seek skilled linguistic manpower amongst Corps members to ensure the smooth running of its Language Schools.

In his words, "we recently moved to Ile-Ife, Osun State from Lagos State, in line with the Chief of Naval Staff's directive that units should not be concentrated to Coastline areas. This explains the vacuum in our language teaching staffs".

He emphasized that the Navy is working towards metamorphosing its language school to a College of Education to accommodate members of the public.

Reacting to the request, the State Coordinator, Mrs. Olayinka Abdulwahab promised to supply the Navy Training School with Corps members with requisite qualifications and proficiency skills that would enhance their operations.

"To the best of my knowledge, we do not currently have Corps members skilled in the particular language you are after. But we would do what we can to identify such talents and send them to you", She said.

She, however, asked that Corps members and NYSC Staff be allowed to attend the Navy Language Schools and gain multilingual proficiency at subsidized rates.

Rounding up, Mrs Abdulwahab sought the Commandant's cooperation hinting that the Scheme may need the Agency's assistance whenever a Corps members is in dire security situation.

The Commandant was accompanied by Lieutenant E. Oyawuyi, Sub-Lieutenant F. Ohungunwa, and Sub-Lieutenant T. Kelvin.

The Commandant and his team were recieved by the State Coordinator and top management staff of the Scheme in the State. In attendance was the AD, HRM, Mrs Mary Adebesin ; AD PPRU, Mrs Funmi Okundaye; AD, Deployment and Relocation, Mr Lawal Taofik; AD CDS & SP, Mr Felix Ayibiowu; AD Finance and Account, Mrs Daramola Olubunmi; AD Corps Inspection and Monitoring, Mrs Adesina Omoboade; and others.
