| Governor Tambuwal with the Corpers |
Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has hosted youth corps
members serving in
Sokoto State to a Sallah feast with a call on them to always
strive to build the Nigeria of their dream.
Speaking at the event attended by hundreds of the corps
members in Sokoto Government House, Tambuwal commended them for their sacrifice
and dedication to nation-building.
He said despite the challenges facing the NYSC scheme and
the nation as a whole, the youths should not lose focus as Nigeria will come
out of it stronger.
"We believe in the oneness of this country. Nigeria is
better and greater as one strong nation. Every nation and country has tits respective
challenges. What we are facing in Nigeria is a passing phase and I believe we
shall come out of it stronger.
"As youths, you are all talented in your own rights and
as leaders, it is our duty to lay solid platforms which will help you all to
excel in your chosen careers. In Sokoto, we are happy with your contributions to
the development of our state.
"For those of you who want to remain here with us after
your service year, we will encourage you to stay. For those who want to go back
home after your service, we pray to God to return you to your homes
safely," he added.
While expressing their appreciation to the governor for his
care and concern to their safety and welfare, the highly elated corps members
described Sokoto as the most peaceful state in the federation.
"Coming here has changed a lot of negative perception I
had about Nigeria, the North and Islam. The people here are humble, hospitable
and caring," said one of the corps members who gave her name simply as
Benedicta and a graduate of Data Analytics from one of the universities in
Cyprus.
