The legal luminary disclosed that the people of the Southwest geopolitical zone respect and honour individuals who are honest and straightforward.
"It is important to let you know that our people cherish respect a lot and they can go to any length to integrate you into the mainstream of their industrial and business activities and they equally love people who are honest and straightforward. The moment you deviate from this virtue, it would be difficult to enjoy their support any longer".

"Our Government will continue to improve on developmental projects and infrastructures that will encourage those who observe their mandatory service year to stay and live in the state at the end of the service year".

The State Coordinator informed the corps participants that they orientation course has been packaged to amongst other things, introduce them to the objectives and programmes of the NYSC Scheme as well as prepare them for the challenges of the service year.
She further disclosed that while they are in camp, they would be introduced to series of extrs-curricular camp activities that are exciting, rewarding and memorable. These according to her include but not limited to various lectures on topical issues, entrepreneurial training, parade drills, social and cultural activities and sports.
"Let me admonish you to participate actively in all these activities and comport yourselves as mature youths.
