The state coordinator who was represented by the Eket NYSC Local government inspector Mr. Oka Okoi, said that one of the goals NYSC is set to achieve is to train youths on the importance of community service and development.

He however admonished youths and other corps members to emulate the good work done by Ebuka Oguocha as well as do everything possible that will postively affect lives of the people, rather than spending their service year in their host community, without making any impact or contribution.
