The Rivers State Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Moses Oleghe, has praised 2026 Batch A Stream II corps members deployed to the state for their dedication and seriousness towards the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) in-camp training programme.
Speaking during the closing ceremony of the training at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Nonwa-Gbam, Oleghe described the corps members’ participation as commendable and urged them to sustain the momentum beyond the orientation exercise.
“I am immensely pleased you took the SAED in-camp training very seriously,” he said, while encouraging participants to continue developing their chosen skills after camp.
The coordinator assured the corps members of continued support from Local Government Inspectors, Zonal Inspectors, SAED officers, Assistant Directors at the NYSC secretariat, and the Office of the State Coordinator whenever the need arises.
He also lauded the SAED trainers for their dedication and commitment to empowering young graduates through entrepreneurship and vocational skills acquisition aimed at reducing unemployment and poverty.
In her remarks, the State SAED Officer, Carol Chukwu, stressed the importance of post-camp training, urging corps members to remain focused and committed to mastering their selected skills.
She appealed to participants to pay attention to every detail of their training in order to become professionals in their various fields.
Chukwu further appreciated the State Coordinator, camp officials, and SAED master trainers for their support and cooperation throughout the in-camp training period.
At the end of the SAED competition held during the ceremony, Platoon 7 emerged overall winner, while Platoon 5 and Platoon 1 came second and third respectively.
