The NYSC Osun State Coordinator, Mrs Olayinka Abdulwahab has charged the 2023 Batch A Stream 1 Corps Members deployed to Osun State and those dislodged from Lagos State to embrace the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Post Camp training as soon as they report at their various places of primary assignment and state of redeployment.

She assured them that their postings have been done inline with the prescribed posting policies of the Scheme and the felt needs of the State.

She enjoined them to settle down at their PPA and strive to mobilise human and capital resources to add value to their host communities. According to her, it is easier for Corps Members to mobilise the aforementioned to meet the felt needs of their communities than for members of the community to do so. She therefore urged them to work individually and as a group towards bettering the lives of the people by addressing felt needs in the area.

" When you get to your PPA you may be accepted or rejected. Don't panic, we have you covered. Report to your Local Government Inspector with your acceptance or rejection letter. " Consequently, she enlightened them on what to do when faced with either of the cases.

Furthermore, She urged them to adhere to the new development in the Country by been very prudent with their spending. She implored them to continue to exhibit good moral values. "I appreciate you all for adhering to all the regimented rules and regulations of the Camp".

In furtherance, she enlightened them on the modus operandi for engaging in the biometrics exercise. She reiterated: "You must be punctual at your PPA , take part in every CDS Activities.
