The Owa Ale of Ikareland, Oba Adeleke Adefemi Adegbite-Adedoyin, has assured the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, management that his palace will give adequate protection to the permanent orientation camp located at Ikare-Akoko.
The king gave the assurance when the NYSC Ondo State Coordinator, Mrs. Victoria Nnenna Ani, paid courtesy visit to his palace.
He said NYSC was a beacon of hope to Nigeria as an entity and as such should be sustained by the traditional institutions.
Oba Adeleke Adegbite-Adedoyin, while praising the efforts of the founding fathers of the scheme posited that it had achieved more unity for the country than any other institutions.
He encouraged corps members to embrace Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development, SAED, programme of the NYSC which according to him would brighten their future.
During the visit, Ani congratulated the king on his ascension to the throne, just as she implored him to encourage prominent sons and daughters of his kingdom to invest in the orientation camp.
She said that scheme would continue to rely on the wise counsel of the king.
The visit was capped with the presentation of NYSC Ondo State publication tagged Sunshine Voice, drinks and traditional 21 pieces of kolanut and bitter kola.
