She also commended the employers and traditional rulers of various host communities for providing a conducive environment for NYSC members to serve the nation.
The NYSC coordinator particularly appreciated Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri for his welfare packages and for ensuring the safety of corps members in the state.
Okpalifo said corps members who distinguished themselves during service were rewarded with certificates of commendation.
She commended NYSC members who took advantage of the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Training Programmes to prepare for the challenge of survival after the service year.
“Many of them focused on being self-reliant and shall soon become employers of labour. I find this commendable,” Okpalifo said.
Okpalifo also acknowledged the efforts of NYSC staff who mentored, supervised, and monitored the corps members in their various places of primary and secondary assignments, saying their commitment ensured the success recorded.
