NYSC Members to Learn Martial Arts

The Ogun State Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mrs. Theresa Anosike says NYSC had introduced martial arts training for all the corps members posted to the state as part of effort to ensure the security of corps members.


Mrs. Anosike said in an address during the swearing-in ceremony of the 2012 Batch B corps members at the National Youth Service Corps Permanent Orientation Camp in Sagamu that the corps members both males and females will be trained in martial arts to equip them with self-defence skills in addition to the normal para-military drills and physical training which they will undergo during the three-week orientation programme.

Also the state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, warned corps members posted to the state to shun cultism, violence, religious intolerance and other social vices during their service year. He said it was only by the ability to resist involvement in social vices that corps members could realize the objectives of their one year national service to their fatherland.

The governor however assured the new corps members of their security, stressing that "Ogun State is a haven of peace and security."
