A Corper Liason Officer, popularly called CLO is a corp member who is chosen or appointed to basically liase with other fellow corp members and NYSC officials. He ensures that information get across to the corp members at the approprite time. He organises meetings, schedules with corp members and NYSC officials to ensure the smooth running of the programme in his local government of duty. 
The CLO's Primary Place of Appointment, PPA is at the local government where the Area Liason Officer, Local Government Liason Officer (who are NYSC officials) work.

Usually, after the one year period of serving the fatherland is up, the CLO is awarded a certificate of recognition, in addition to the NYSC certificate he gets. Sometimes, there's a tussle for this post among corp members, as there's a belief that the recognition certificate given to the CLO gives him an edge in the labour market, others claimed it gives you a sort of affluence in the society,  especially if you vye for a top or influential position.

Now, here's my question. Of what relevance is the CLO recognition certificate after NYSC? Do you know anyone who's used the certificate to his advantage? Or should we consider it just another piece of cardboard stock? In other words, who CLO Certificate help? Kindly tell us in the comment box.

Have not seen anyone who used d certificate to his advantage .

But i think being the CLO improves your leadership abilities...u would get to interact with diverse group of people and also coordinate them and since a certificate is being issued, i think it can also be submitted during job interviews since most companies need people with leadership abilities/team players
