Ajayi commended the corps members for their exemplary performances and urged other corps members to strive for excellence in all their endeavours.
She, however, said that the issuance of certificates of national service would continue for the next 10 days to enable corps members to observe the physical distancing rules and preventive measures against COVID-19.
Alhaji Yusuf Abdullahi, NYSC North Central Zonal Coordinator, enjoined the outgoing corps members to keep the NYSC flag flying at all times.
He encouraged the passing out corps members to strive to become self-reliant putting to practice the skills acquired during their service year.
