  "account": "Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has urged members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to demonstrate their worthiness of the public's trust by actively participating in ensuring credible elections in 2027 and contributing significantly to national development. The governor made this appeal during the opening of the 2026 Batch C Stream II orientation course at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Tai Local Government Area. Fubara, represented by Dr Promise Oguzie, emphasized the importance of the corps members' commitment to serving with dedication, patriotism, and selflessness. He added that his administration would continue to prioritize their security and welfare, with the expectation that they would leave the state in a better condition than they found it. \"Repay the trust reposed in you by contributing your quota meaningfully to the success of the 2027 general election and the overall development of our nation,\" Fubara urged. The Rivers State NYSC Coordinator, Mr Moses Oleghe, revealed that the state had received the highest number of corps members ever, due to the attractive welfare packages offered to serving youths. However, Oleghe expressed concerns over the state of accommodation facilities, urging the state government to expedite the construction of 1,000-capacity hostels for both male and female corps members. Oleghe also emphasized the need for corps members to maintain neutrality, patriotism, integrity, honesty, and transparency in their roles, especially as ad hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during the 2027 elections. By upholding these values, the corps members could play a critical role in strengthening Nigeria's democracy and facilitating the emergence of credible leadership.",
