International Stadium, Sagamu.
The Governor who was represented by the State Commissioner for
Youth and Sports, Dr. Oluwadare Kehinde, advised them to exhibit the
highest level of responsibility, integrity, loyalty, dedication, discipline,
and commitment to nation-building.
Abiodun also noted that the scheme was an opportunity to contribute
to the task of national regeneration, which should be accepted with
determination, while urging them to participate actively in all events in
the camp.

and Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Dr. Oluwadare Kehinde,
represented by the Permanent Secretary, Engr. Olaiwola Abiodun
advised the corps members to be agents of positive change.
“The journey you have commenced is an onerous and challenging one,
therefore, it can be readily deduced that your response to the clarion
call is an indication of your readiness to serve our fatherland, with a
renewed determination and commitment. Kindly bear in mind that life
during the orientation camp is different from what you have been used
to, and on that note, I urge you to adjust quickly and submit yourselves
to camp authorities”, Kehinde said.

demonstrating a high level of patriotism and enthusiasm since their
arrival in camp.
