Speaking when she led members of the Council on a courtesy call to the Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, in his office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Ambassador Abubakar said her team has visited many orientation camps in the country, but none compared to the one built by Ogun State in Sagamu.
“Ogun State is the most friendly NYSC State in the country. I have gone to many orientation camps in this country, I must say that Ogun State has the best orientation Camp. In fact, Ogun State camp is like a five-star hotel. It’s the best”, she noted.
While commending the State government for assisting in carrying out COVID-19 testing for all corps in the State, Ambassador Abubakar, appreciated the State Governor for embarking on a massive renovation of the State NYSC Camp, restoring allowance to the Corps members and electricity to the Scheme’s Secretariat, requesting for the provision of an Ambulance, additional staff quarters and 100 hectares of farmland for the scheme initiative.
