She advised them to accept their letters of posting to places of primary assignment in good faith and be security conscious at all times.

Uba encouraged the corps members to build on the skills acquired in the entrepreneurship development programme by availing themselves of opportunities for post-camp training.

“This will go a long way in empowering you for self-reliance.

“On our part, we are liaising with financial institutions and other stakeholders with a view to providing start-up loans to enable you actualize your business dreams.

“I wish to assure you that management will continue to explore avenues for optimizing the impact of the programme,” she said.
