The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has advised members of the 2024 Batch B Stream I, who have just concluded their service year, to focus on wealth creation.
The NYSC Coordinator in Rivers, Moses Oleghe, gave the charge on Tuesday during the passing-out ceremony of corps members held in Port Harcourt.
He reminded the corps members of the core values instilled in them throughout their service year and encouraged them to become agents of positive change in society.
Mr Oleghe discouraged the pursuit of white-collar jobs as the sole path to success, urging the corps members to embrace entrepreneurship and self-reliance.
“Creativity, hard work, discipline, focus, determination, and dedication are the ingredients needed to achieve your aspirations.
