The Lagos State Government has commended corps members for their active participation in the just-concluded three-week orientation course and urged them to sustain the values and qualities acquired during the service year and beyond.

Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu gave the commendation in his address on Tuesday during the passing-out ceremony of the 2026 Batch B, Stream I orientation exercise held at the NYSC temporary orientation camp in Iyana-Ipaja.

Sanwo-Olu said that the NYSC motto, “Service and Humility”, should continue to guide the corps members’ conduct and decisions, urging them to always place the interest of Nigeria above personal considerations, knowing that their service today would contribute to the nation’s progress tomorrow.

The governor, represented by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Youth, Sports and Social Development, Mrs Oluwatoyin Osanyintolu, also appealed to employers to provide conducive environments for corps members during their service year.

According to him, corps members are development partners whose innovation, energy and fresh perspectives will benefit organisations across the state.
