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 discipline acquired throughout their service year and beyond.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu gave the commendation 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.
The governor said the NYSC motto, “Service and Humility,” should continue to guide the conduct and decisions of corps members, urging them to consistently place the interest of Nigeria above personal considerations, noting that their service today contributes to the nation’s future development.
Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Youth, Sports and Social Development, Oluwatoyin Osanyintolu, also appealed to employers across the state to provide conducive environments for corps members during their service year.
He described corps members as development partners whose innovation, energy, and fresh perspectives can add significant value to organisations across Lagos State.
The governor reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to the safety and overall well-being of corps members serving within its jurisdiction.
He further stated that the government would continue to recognise and reward corps members who distinguish themselves through exceptional service, impactful community development initiatives, and meaningful contributions to the growth of the state.
