Once again let me congratulate you for the successful completion of your service to our fatherland. Today your status has changed not only in your family but also to the nation. So also your role and responsibilities. Technically, you have been successfully trained for the rest of your life, today the nation acknowledge your autonomous to make decision for yourself and contribute to the success of our growing society. As you are saying goodbye to NYSC you need to take note of the following:

Be focused: There are several challenges ahead, don’t get derailed. Dream big and plan towards achieving your dream. Surely, you will be distracted at one point or the other, don’t lose focus; remember it is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Be industrious: The reality is that not all of you passing out today will get a job from our economy. Don’t wait for opportunities, create one for yourself. The NYSC scheme understand the challenges of our economy, thereby arming you with soft skill to survive in live. Develop the skill you learn during the past one year, be creative about it and start up something to contribute to the society. My brother, don’t wait for what the nation will do for you, consider what you will contribute to your growing economy.

Be Responsible: Throughout the years of your existence, probably someone has been responsible for part of your sustenance. Don’t pass out to become a burden to your family and society, take charge of your life. Jim Rohn said it all: you must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of”.

Take charge: Just don’t wait for what will happen to you, take charge of your life. Plan, process and proceed. Your future starts now, your ability to make decisions now and not wait for instruction makes speak loud. Your life is in your hand.

Don’t give up: Always remember this point, irrespective of what you will come across, “Don’t Give up”. Those who succeed greatly today tried several times before achieving success, keep on trying to get better in life.

Be a good ambassador: You have just been endorse as an ambassador of this country, you have successfully completed the learning curve of understanding what we stand for. Every child in your community now sees you as a role model. Don’t be a bad one. Be sure you do the right thing at all time.

I welcome you all to the world of unlimited opportunities.

Your very good friend.
