who spoke through Mr. Oluseye Oladejo, Commissioner for Special Duties and
Inter-governmental Relations, during the official opening of the 2017 Batch 'B'
Stream 'II' Orientation course held at Ipaja, Lagos State said: "Through
the skills acquisition and entrepreneurship development initiative, you could
be a beneficiary of the start-up capital from Lagos State Employment Trust Fund
which is presently in partnership with NYSC Lagos State."
According
to him, the orientation programme has been packaged to give corps members a
solid foothold for a fulfilling service year as well as prepare them for the
challenges of their service and post-service life. He urged corps members „ pay
attention to the programme in order to secure for themselves a post-service
life of self-sufficiency and financial independence. "This phase indeed
marks a glorious beginning of a worthy journey in the service of your
fatherland".
