NYSC MOVES TO STRENGTHEN TIES WITH COLLABORATING AGENCIES

The National Youth Service Corps has made moves to strengthen its ties with collaborating agencies and stakeholders in the State.  The move, which was made by the newly created Southwest Area Office in collaboration with the State Secretariat, was geared towards intimating and involving the agencies and stakeholders in the successful running of the Area Office situated in the State.

Pursuant to this,  the Southwest Area Coordinator,  Mr Emmanuel Attah with the NYSC Osun State Coordinator,  Mr Ayodele Adegoke paid a courtesy visit on  HRM,  Oba Munirudeen Adesola Lawal,  the Timi of Edeland;  and the Commander Engineer Construction Command Nigeria Army,  Ede,  Brig. Gen. A. O Agboola.

The Timi of Edeland, while hosting the Area and State Coordinators, thanked the management of the scheme for siting the Southwest Area Office in the State considering the stiff competition that must have ensued in the process. According to him " NYSC management has made the right decision by bringing the Area Office to Osun State considering the fact that the State is almost central and relatively peaceful. "

" this will open up the State to more development and I am sure it will bring about an improved standard of living for people in the State. I, therefore reiterate my commitment and that of my people to assisting the Area Office and also the NYSC Osun State achieve its objectives and purpose" he added.

Playing host to the duo in his office,  the Commander, ECC Nigeria Army Ede,  Brig. Gen. A. O Agboola expressed appreciation for the visit as according to him,  their coming was a true reflection of the synergy that exist between the scheme and the Nigeria Army. "it gladens my heart to play host to two great men; the former Coordinator of NYSC Osun State now appointed Area Coordinator of Southwest and the new State Coordinator. The State is blessed indeed to have great and seasoned administrators handling the scheme's affairs both at the state and area level.

" the Nigeria Army is a part of the NYSC family and fully committed to ensuring the scheme progresses at all levels. I assure you of our continued support. I and my team  are ready to support the area office in any capacity like we have been doing for the scheme in the State" he said.

Meanwhile, the Area Coordinator,  Mr Emmanuel Attah has appreciated HRM,  Oba Muniru Adesola Lawal and the Commander ECC Nigeria Army Ede, Brig. Gen. A. O Agboola during the visit for the support given to the scheme during his sojourn in the State as the state coordinator  and for extending greater support to his successor,  Mr Ayodele Adegoke.

He accordingly intimated them on the creation of the Area Office,  why it was sited in Osun State and the objectives behind the creation. He thereafter craved the full support and a greater collaboration towards achieving the mandate and objectives of  the scheme in the State and the Southwest Area.

Mr Ayodele Adegoke, the State Coordinator, who accompanied the Area Coordinator during the visits also called for a greater collaboration of all agencies of the state with the Area Office, " It is a blessing for us to have the NYSC Southwest Area Office sited in Osun State. I urge you to join hands with us to assist the Area Office achieve its ideals and objectives, in order to justify the management's choice of Osun as the central location for the Southwest " he said.

The duo also visited the site of the project embarked upon by a corps member serving with the Engineer Construction Command,  Nigeria Army Ede.
