President Muhammadu Buhari has admonished members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to live up to the expectation of the founding fathers by utilising their education and privilege of visiting different parts of the country to unite Nigerians.
Receiving the youth corps members on Sunday at his country home in Daura, Katsina State alongside the President of Republic of Guinea, Prof. Alfa Conde, during the Eid el-Kabir Sallah celebration, President Buhari said the primary focus of the NYSC is to expose graduates to the beauty and diversity of the country, and return to their states or any part of the country to share their experiences.
Buhari advised them to always emphasize the common values of peaceful co-existence, kindness and hospitality that cut across all cultures and religion in Nigeria.
President Buhari said the entire nation depends on past and serving youth corps members to bridge the country since they have the first-hand experience of living with different ethnic groups in various parts of the country, studying their cultures and traditions, and enjoying the hospitality, which underpins every community in Nigeria.
