My Dear Compatriots in National Service
It gives me an immense pleasure to address you as you come on board the ship of nation building which shall sail for the next twelve months. Indeed, this is another phase in your life, a rare opportunity for self-development and actualisation, as well as a contribution to national development on the platform of selfless service.

As you join the elite vanguard in pursuit of a united, virile, egalitarian and economically prosperous Nation, I charge you to approach this task with the highest degree of fervour, patriotism, service and humility - the motto of the forty - four year old Service Corps that has become a household name in the country.

My dear virile corps members, your coming this far in life, culminating in your membership of the Service Scheme has not been by accident, but through a deliberate course of action, anchored on discipline, diligence and resilience.

You've already graduated and in around a year will be finishing your NYSC service. You will then want to be independent to take your place in your community and the wider world. A good way to achieve this would be by using your competencies and skills, together with knowledge about entrepreneurship to launch your own business.

The acronym SAED stands for skills acquisition and entrepreneurship development. SAED is a modular package in entrepreneurship for corps members so that they may acquire an entrepreneurial mindset and the knowledge to set up a small business if they so wish.

It has been designed for delivery during the orientation camp, but corps members are always given work book and the companion facilitators guide for self-study at camp and later in their service year.

There are several programmes under this SAED programme which corps members are expected to choose the ones they really like and have passion for. I shall name some of them here in this post. SAED programme [business sector] which has other sub-sectors are as given below;
Agro-Allied
Food processing and preservation
Culture and tourism
Cosmetology
ICT
Construction
Environment
Beautification
Power and Energy
Education
Film and photography
Automobile and many others
