President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday hailed the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for its role in promoting national Unity.
The President expressed his delight when Corps Members visited him in Daura, Katsina State, on the sidelines of the Eid-El-Kabir celebrations.
“One of the highlights of my Eid-el-Kabir celebrations in Daura is the visit from NYSC members, after the prayers.
“I am always pleased to see Corps members in Daura and other parts of Nigeria. From the postings, we get to learn more about other cultures.
“I remain convinced that the NYSC offers a great opportunity to learn a lot about the diversity that has made Nigeria a unique country.
“On a personal note, I recall that serving as an Army Officer in Lagos and Ibadan offered me very rich and fulfilling experiences.
“Our rich diversity as a nation is and will always be one of our greatest strengths. It must never be used as a tool of hatred and division,” the President said.
