Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has urged members of the National Youth Service Corps deployed to the state to use the orientation camp as an opportunity to build lasting friendships across ethnic and regional boundaries.
He said the bonds formed in the camp might one day help shape the future of Nigeria, adding that the unity, peace and progress of the country depend partly on how well they maximise the camp experience.
Eno stated this in his address at the NYSC orientation camp during the swearing-in ceremony of the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream II corps members on Friday.
The governor, who was represented by the Director of Youth Development, Mr Emmanuel Akpabio, who is overseeing the duties of the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Youth Development, urged the corps members to ensure their contributions transcend ethnic, religious and linguistic lines.
