Muhammadu Buhari has praised the role that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme is playing in national integration in the country.
The president showed his happpiness about the programme after he was visited by a large number of corps members in his hometown.
He expressed his admiration for the Eid-el-Kabir programme as it partakes in exposing young Nigerian graduates to the cultures of people from other parts of the country.
The president said, “One of the highlights of my celebrations in Daura is the visit from NYSC members, after the prayers.
I am always pleased to see Corps members in Daura and other parts of Nigeria. From the postings, we get to learn more about other cultures.
I remain convinced that the NYSC offers a great opportunity to learn a lot about the diversity that has made Nigeria a unique country.”
“On a personal note, I recall that serving as an Army Officer in Lagos and Ibadan offered me very rich and fulfilling experiences.
“Our rich diversity as a nation is and will always be one of our greatest strengths. It must never be used as a tool of hatred and division.”
