It
is an honour and privilege that I stand before you here to express my sincere
and profound gratitude to, first and foremost, Almighty God for making today
possible. My ardent appreciation goes to the President, Commander-in-Chief of
the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari
GCFR; Minister of Defence; Chief of Army Staff, for finding me worthy to be appointed DG of this great scheme.
I
cannot thank the outgoing DG enough. He
has done extremely well to have lifted the scheme to a higher level. I want to
assure him that I will strive to sustain the tremendous achievements and take
the scheme to another pedestal.
My vision will be to sustain effective
utilisation of the potentials of corps members, pursue a technologically driven
organisation, improve on the welfare of corps members and the staff, as well as
their security, strengthen the existing collaborations with stakeholders, and
rejig the NYSC ventures in line with the NYSC Act.
To
whom much is given, much is expected. I would want to urge the staff to be
committed to work, shun malpractices and corruption. Team work and fairness to
all will be my watch words.
At
this juncture, I want to, once again, thank the outgoing DG for his service to
the scheme and country, and wish him God’s guidance and success in his future
endeavours. I thank you all for
witnessing this historic occasion.
Thank
you and God bless.

Senseman Publishers’ comment:
Brig-General
Ibrahim, as if more talk would be at the expense of his duty, spoke frankly and
to the point, anxious to make his mark in the nation’s youth scheme where every
household is a stakeholder.
