He stated, “SAED is your way to bid farewell to poverty and prevent the inconvenience of carrying files around, saying “Good morning, sir”.
It would be unfortunate if you depart this camp without gaining a skill that can greatly benefit you profoundly.
Holding a white-collar job alone will not ensure financial prosperity. It is essential to explore and engage in entrepreneurial ventures and cultivate valuable skills to ensure a secure future.
The director of the orientation camp emphasized that the strict environment was intended to foster discipline, patriotism, and personal growth among the participants.
Ayodele warned that corps members should not attempt to manipulate their postings, as their assignments might be part of a larger plan.
In his words, "Don't truncate someone's future just because you want to relocate. You never know you may have been sent to Benue for a reason."
Regardless of your location, strive to excel in all you do, as any effort put in deserves full commitment.
The director restated the core goals of the NYSC to foster national unity and cohesion.
The director cautioned the corps members to be watchful and show respect for the practices of Islam, local customs, and traditions of the communities they are serving in.
“During your term of service, avoid participating in any activities that could potentially put your life at risk,” he stated.
Ayodele cautioned corps members against traveling late at night, recalling the organization's standard policy, specifying, "If you have to travel, please use authorized terminals and never travel after 6 pm. This is a rule implemented for your safety."
The director acknowledged the various groups that had made important contributions to camp life and presented gifts to several of them, including the Quarter Guards, Man ‘O’ War Special Squad, the Camp Band, the Red Cross Society, the OBS crew, Platoon Leaders, and the Bugler.
He also made substantial contributions to the upcoming platoon carnival, guaranteeing that all ten platoons were involved.
In an earlier part of her address, Mrs Veronica Garba, the NYSC State Coordinator, told the visiting director that the Corps members have taken well to the camp conditions and have actively been participating in all scheduled activities.
Garba stated that a total of 1,925 Corps Members were registered, comprising 1,022 females and 903 males.
