CORPS MEMBER RENOVATES CLASS ROOM BLOCK AMONG OTHER PROJECTS IN BAYELSA.STATE

The State Coordinator, Mrs Okpalifo Obiageli Charity, today - 25/7/25 - joined other dignitaries to commission a four class room block and staff office at Community Primary School Swali in Yenagoa Bayelsa State.
The Community Development Service ( CDS) project was initiated and executed by Corps member Brown Ofeome Ebubechukwu (BY/24B/2451).
In an introductory remark, the Head of Community Development Service Branch, Mrs Kosy Ifekudu gave a background on the project’s conception. She noted that it was borne out of Corps Member Brown’s passion for community impact and lauded the vision behind the initiative. In her words, “this project is not just a structure, but a statement of purpose.”
In his welcome remarks Corps member Brown Ofeome shared how the project initially began as a campaign against cultism in select primary and secondary schools. "However, upon encountering the poor state of learning environments, I was inspired to take on a more tangible intervention—renovating the classroom block of the school. In addition to the infrastructural work, I also organized medical outreach for NYSC officials, distributed exercise books to 200 pupils, and empowered local women through vocational trainings".
He expressed gratitude to all supporters, individuals and organizations, who contributed in cash, kind, and presence.
The Community Development Chairman of Swali community , Hon. James Isaiah Gbenizibe delivered a goodwill message on behalf of the host community. He described the project as unprecedented and expressed deep appreciation with a promise that the community would ensure the security and maintenance of the facility.
In his comment, the Executive Assistant (EA) to the Governor on NYSC Matters, Dr. Wisdom Poyeri on behalf of the state government commended the corps members for such a land mark project. He described him as “an uncommon citizen” whose thoughtful and empathetic project reflects the leadership potential in Nigeria’s youth."
The EA also encouraged other corps members to emulate the selfless example, emphasizing that society calls upon young people to fill existing gaps with bold solutions.
The State Coordinator, NYSC Bayelsa, Mrs Okpalifo Charity while commissioning the project stated that the NYSC always encourages corps members to leave lasting legacies in their host communities. She emphasized that although many corps members are willing to make impact, lack of funding often poses a barrier. She praised Brown’s resourcefulness and called on all stakes holders to begin supporting youth-led community projects.
The State Coordinator also charged the Swali community to safeguard the project, promote a culture of maintenance, and inspire further development through local leadership. She prayed for Brown’s continued success and urged other corps members to find inspiration in his example.

The National Youth Service Corps, Bayelsa State Secretariat, successfully hosted the 2025 edition of the NYSC/Corps Employers Workshop on Thursday, 24th, July, 2025.
The event, which was held at the Conference Hall of the Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Federal Secretariat Complex, Oxbow Lake, Yenagoa, with the theme: _*“Strengthening NYSC/Corps Employers Partnership for Improved Mutual Benefits,”*_ brought together key stakeholders from both public and private sectors, government officials, and NYSC management staff.

In her introductory remarks, the NYSC Bayelsa State Coordinator, *Mrs. Okpalifo Obiageli Charity,* welcomed participants and commended the Corps Employers for their commitment to the Scheme. She emphasized the vital roles Employers play in shaping Corps members' service year experience, urging them to sustain their support for corps members through proper mentorship, timely remuneration where applicable, and, conducive work environments.

In a similar development, the Executive Chairman, Yenagoa Local Government Area, *Hon. Bulodisiye Ndiwari*, who was represented at the occasion by the Secretary to the Yenagoa Local Government Council, *Hon. Delewari Tarila,* in his welcome address, observed that the workshop, which was an assembly of key stakeholders, was geared towards supporting Nigerian youths and strengthening national development through the NYSC scheme.
According to him, the theme of the workshop speaks directly to the need for stronger collaboration between the Scheme and corps employers. He urged all stakeholders to seize the opportunity to reflect, share ideas, and renew commitment to providing enabling environments where corps members could thrive and contribute meaningfully to national growth and development. He commended the NYSC for this initiative and wished everyone a productive and engaging session.

The Honourable Commissioner for Youth Development, *Hon. Alfred Kemepadou Nimizigha*, represented by the Executive Assistant to the Governor of Bayelsa State on NYSC Matters, *Dr. Wisdom Richard Poyeri*, in his goodwill message, applauded the NYSC for its continued relevance in national development and encouraged Corps Employers to uphold standards that allow corps members to thrive and contribute meaningfully to their Places of Primary Assignments.

A major highlight of the event was the keynote address delivered on behalf of the NYSC Director-General, Brigadier-General OO Nafiu. The NYSC DG, who spoke through the Deputy Director, NYSC South South Area Office - 1 *Mr. Orinmolade Emmanuel,* emphasized the importance of synergy between the Scheme and Corps Employers, calling for greater collaboration in the deployment of corps members’ skills, provision of accommodation, timely payment of allowances, and proper mentoring. “ _The success of the Scheme is a shared responsibility,”_ he said, “and it hinges on the commitment of Corps Employers.”

The workshop featured two paper presentations. The first paper, titled: _*“The Role of an Ideal Corps Employer in Realization of the NYSC Objectives,”*_ presented by *Dr. (Pst.) Lawanson Olugbenga Francis,* outlined best practices such as aligning corps members’ assignments with their qualifications, supervision, mentorship, and regular feedback to NYSC.

Participants engaged in robust discussions and syndicate sessions where they identified challenges and proposed workable solutions to improve the Scheme’s implementation at the grassroots. One of the resolutions adopted was the call for enhanced NYSC monitoring and feedback systems, as well as incentives from Employers to their corps members to serve as a morale booster with the view of enhancing service delivery.

A high point of the event was the presentation of *Best Corps Employer Award.* The award was presented to *Biseni Secondary School, Biseni, Yenagoa Local Government Area*, for her outstanding commitment to corps members' development and welfare in the area extending beyond the confines of the establishment. Receiving the Award, the Principal of the School, *Mr. Larry George,* applauded the NYSC for this thoughtful gesture, he assured that under his leadership, the School would continue to extend its welfarist gesture to all corps members serving within the area (Biseni community); he urged all Employers to emulate the same.
