The issuance of the Certificate of National Service remains a significant aspect of the Passing-Out exercise, as it serves as an official confirmation of successful participation in the national service programme.

In Kano State, the exercise was carried out smoothly across the four NYSC Zones covering the forty-four Local Government Areas of the state. Corps Members received their certificates in an orderly and peaceful manner from designated service points, making the exercise seamless and hitch-free.

He urged them to uphold the values and lessons learnt throughout the service year, noting that discipline, dedication, and self-reliance would help them succeed in their future endeavours.

Mr. Fatogun also prayed for God’s guidance, protection, long life, and prosperity for all the outgoing Corps Members as they begin a new phase of life.
