Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State has charged Batch B corps members of the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) in Osun State, to support the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the success of the September 22, governorship election in the state.
He said that their contributions remained indispensable.
Aregbesola disclosed this at the NYSC orientation camp, Ede, Osun State, during the kick-off of the 2018 orientation course, on Thursday.
He said the participation of the corps members in the election was very important in ensuring free, fair and credible process.
“Your non-partisanship and patriotism towards the realization of the Nigerian dream has brought about a renewed hope and trust in the nation’s electoral process.

He added that government in the state had provided enabling environment for the corps members to fulfil their statutory obligations.
He said the NYSC scheme had different ventures to serve not only the corps members, but the host community as well.
