Also speaking, one of the corps members, Oropo Enitan KW/19B/3045, pledged, on behalf of his colleagues, to always identify with the state government in the fight against COVID-19.

It is recalled that about two weeks ago, a group of corps members produced a thousand bottles of hand sanitizers and liquid soap at the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development centre domiciled in the NYSC State secretariat.

Responding, Governor Abdulrazaq described the NYSC scheme as a leading impetus in the war against the deadly COVID-19 in the country.

Speaking through the deputy governor, Mr Kayode Alabi, who also doubles as the chairman of the technical committee on COVID-19, the governor said that the efforts of the scheme since the COVID-19 broke out is a catalyst in the fight against the global pandemic.

The governor then, appreciated the scheme as a front liner in the fight against COVID-19 and promised to make judicious use of the items produced by the patriotic corps members
