The Ogun State Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mrs. Theresa Anosike says the service 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.
Anosike said in her address during the swearing-in ceremony of the 2012 Batch B corps members at the National Youth Service Corps Permanent Orientation Camp in Sagamu yesterday that the 2000 corps members comprising 999 males and 1001 females would be trained in martial arts to equip them with self-defence skills in addition to the normal para-military drills and physical training during the three-week orientation programme.
The state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, warned corps members posted to the state to eschew cultism, violence, religious intolerance and other anti-social vices during their service year.
Amosun said it was only by the ability of the corps members to resist involvement in such anti-social vices that they could realize the objectives of their one year national youth 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.”
