He also urged them to shun any act that could put them in disrepute as leaders of tomorrow but rather strive to be partners in progress in their various communities.
Amosun, who gave the advice at the closing ceremony and terminal parade of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) 2014 Batch B Orientation in Sagamu, yesterday, urged the corps members to endeavour to keep the scheme’s flag flying in their quest for new grounds without attempting to drop the ball.
He charged them to contribute their quota through selfless service to leave remarkable imprint on the sands of time, calling on the corps members to move and relate freely with their host communities as well as share the hopes and aspirations of the people of the state.
“Make sure you contribute your quota through selfless service to your host communities. I charge you to keep the flag flying and possibly, strive to break new grounds.”
Come up with groundbreaking community development projects that will impact positively on their lives.
“As good ambassadors of the country to your various locations, where you will spend the next one year, apply caution in your activities, shun violence and discourage any act that can truncate the peace being enjoyed in the state,” Amosun said.
While commending the dogged determination and visionary skills of the brains behind the scheme established for over four decades, the governor pointed out that the NYSC scheme remained one of the unifying factors that had survived this long in spite of the twin scourge of terrorism and economic downturn facing the nation.
He urged employers to discourage the idea of rejecting corps members posted to their organisations, assuring that the state government would not relent in providing the necessary ambience for a hitch-free service year.
Amosun promised to partner with any willing individuals or organisations to maintain security of lives and property in the state.
