“As the Chairman of the NYSC Governing Board in the State, I equally commend your Organisation for taking the burden of training prospective Corps Members posted to the State for their Orientation Course. I admire your passion and poise for your job.
“You have come with lofty requests, and we assure you that we will contact the appropriate authorities to enable you achieve some of your goals, if not all.”
