In spite of the obstacles that it has had to overcome over the years, the National Youth Service Program (NYSC) has continued to serve as a leader in the promotion of national unity, integration, and development.

At the unity rally, which was held in Yenagoa and began at the Peace Park, which is located directly across from the Government House, staff members and corps members from the state praised the program for its successes over the course of its existence.

Mrs. Okpalifo Obiageli Charity, the state coordinator, stated that the event was part of a series of programs that were put together by the directorate headquarters to celebrate the scheme while she was raising the flag to start the rally.

Since the corps was established on May 22, 1973, Okpalifo said that the theme “NYSC: Five Decades of Fostering National Unity and Integration” was appropriate.
