Their welfare remains a priority for the University. I want the NYSC to formally present its requests and I pledge that the management would consider them promptly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Vice Chancellor also stressed the need for corps members to embrace digital literacy, networking, and sacrifice as integral aspects of the NYSC experience.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cthese skills would not only aid their service year but also position them for future relevance in their chosen careers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He revealed the university\u2019s intention to retain some of the Corps Doctors to strengthen its health services, reiterating that OAU has never rejected corps members but rather valued their contributions to its academic and administrative system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
