However, we require collaboration and support from various bodies, agencies, and institutions-NYSC inclusive. It is on this note that I want to specially appreciate you, Sir, for your support to our institution in the area of supply of quality corp members. I must state that our corp members have been very cooperative and supportive in our joint drive of having a world-class institution. As an Oliver Twist, we plead that you give us more quality corp members.”

NYSC is for the state, and my joy is in hearing good reports about my corp members anytime I travel around the State as a fostered father. I am happy with the positive reports I am getting, and the report of your hospitality, as given by my corp members, too. We will continue to partner with your University and I assure you of our support as a body. Once again, I thank you for the warm reception and wish your institution the very best.”
