FUTA Holds Capacity-building Workshop For NYSC Members

The Federal University of Technology Akure, FUTA, Centre for Gender Issues in Science and Technology (CEGIST) has organised a capacity-building seminar for National Youth Service Corps, NYSC members serving in Ondo State.

While declaring the seminar open, the Registrar, Dr. (Mrs.) Modupe Ajayi stated that NYSC was one of the good things to have happened in Nigeria and had brought togetherness to Nigeria as a nation.

She added that many youths in the course of serving their nation had mixed with other tribes and some in the process got married to people from other parts of the country and fellow corpers. She, therefore, enjoined the corps members to rediscover themselves by bringing out the best in them in the course of their service year.

The State Coordinator of NYSC, Mr. Isiaka Olanrewaju Kuoye who was represented by Mr. Olu Fadairo thanked FUTA management and CEGIST for putting in place a capacity building seminar. He stressed that the seminar would open the eyes of NYSC members to self-development. He however advised them to treasure what FUTA has given to them and use it to develop themselves and for the progress of Nigeria.

While delivering a paper titled Self Promotion, Dr. Omotayo Dairo, the Chief Executive Officer of Quintal Energy stated that they ( corps members) should work very hard to be celebrated rather than celebrating others as it was their skills, passion and dreams that could make people seek them as people of influence in the society.

He stressed that they should endear themselves to people in their communities of service through values, intellectual capability, emotional stability, physical strength and spiritual development.

In her lecture entitled: Finding Love during the Service Year, Professor (Mrs.) Ibiyinka Fuwape, Dean, School of Sciences stated that it was with love that mankind could live together as one and in it that a nation could grow. She stressed further that “love is selfless and long lasting as it could not be pigeonholed.”

This is a good one coming from FUTA, what do you think?
