Governor Aiyedatiwa affirmed that the 2025 Batch ‘A’ Stream 2 corps members had undergone paramilitary drills, leadership and citizenship training, Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development and various forms of patriotic education in the course of the orientation exercise, he therefore explained that the activities were designed to shape their character and equip them for future challenges.
Commending their enthusiasm to serve the nation, he urged them to allow their conduct to reflect the values instilled in them during the orientation course and be impactful in their host communities.
