Headlines, NYSC (National Youth Service Corp), Ondo, State News Tuesday, April 26th, 2011About 200 National Youth Service Corps members, who are Ondo State indigenes evacuated from Bauchi State by the state government, have arrived in Akure, the state capital.
Receiving them at the Government House, the state governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, urged them not to allow the incident to douse their sense of patriotism and remain committed to fostering national unity and development.
According to him, “we thank God and I congratulate you on being able to get home safely. I also thank God that you were not victims. I have to also encourage you not in any way allow this to dampen your sense of patriotism in this great nation.
“Every country goes through its difficult times, but I still encourage you to still appreciate the fact that Nigeria is a wonderful country, a great nation. Our manifest destiny is that Nigeria will be a leader of nations.”
The governor equally applauded President Goodluck Jonathan for the mature manner he had been handling the crisis, adding that “no matter how insurmountable the situation had been in the past, Nigeria had always come out more united and stronger and I believe this will not be an exception.
