Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has commended the 2015/2016 NYSC Presidential Award Winners from Abia State for making the State proud by their strides.
The Governor said this earlier today while formally receiving five out of the six Abians who won the 2015/2016 NYSC Presidential Award Winners. These six Abians were personally honored by President Muhammadu Buhari for their exemplary conduct during their service year and for making exceptional contributions to their areas of primary assignment.
In the words of the Governor, “Six of you have made us proud. You have put Abia on the national limelight yet again by your activities during your service year. I keep saying it that the quest for excellence is driven by a personal choice to stand out from the crowd. As Youth Corpers, you had an option to just serve and walk away but you went the extra mile by making solid contributions to your areas of primary assignment and leaving indelible marks. Smart people create opportunities while lazy people keep complaining”.
The Governor was particularly pleased that Abia State University and Abia State Polytechnic collectively produced three out of the five awardees.
