She reminded the Corps Members that they were representatives of the program and urged them to always present themselves positively to the public.

During her lecture, Mrs. Aladesoun emphasized the significant role Corps Members play in shaping public perception of the NYSC. 

As the Head of the State’s Public Relations Unit, her insights provided valuable guidance, stressing the importance of every action and interaction of the Corps Members in contributing to the overall reputation of the NYSC.

Mrs. Aladesoun focused particularly on the role of publications in PR efforts, highlighting the importance of the ‘Eko Kopa’ Magazine.
