Among the team led by the honourable Commissioner were; Mr. Agbor Obim Ndoma, the Osun State NYSC Coordinator, who emphasized the importance of swift repairs to ensure the safety and comfort of corps members. The early visit by the team brought the awareness of the state government to the damage and triggered the commitment to renovate the affected facilities.

Hon. Olagunju assured that immediate action will be taken to repair the affected buildings and facilities. He reaffirmed the state government’s dedication to youth welfare and stated that the administration of Governor Senator Dr. Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke has consistently supported initiatives that benefit the Nation Youth Corps in Osun State.
