Kalu commended the NYSC Radio and Television for their informative, educative and entertaining programmes, as well as their objective news reportage. He further praised the NYSC Management for its commitment to grooming Corps Members for leadership, national unity and integration, while also empowering them with entrepreneurial skills and financial pathways to self-reliance.
“We love what you are doing, and we have come to identify with you to encourage hard work. We need to have a strategic partnership,” he stated.
Responding, the NYSC Director General, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, explained that NYSC Radio 88.3FM and Television were established to project the activities of the Scheme and amplify government programmes in the media space.
