LAGOS, Nigeria – Staff and corps members deployed to Anambra State for the 2020 Batch ‘B’ National Youth service Corps NYSC on Saturday held their cultural carnival in camp.

It turned out to be a convergence of cultures and colours as corps members and camp officials  came out in various cultural attires at the permanent orientation camp Umuawulu Mbaukwu, Awka South of the state.

Addressing participants at the event, the state coordinator of NYSC Mr. Kehinde Aremu expressed worries over the relegation of indigenous cultures to the background by young Nigerians while embracing alien cultures.

According to him, the convergence of cultures and colours witnessed at the occasion show  the rich and diverse Nigerian ways of life which can be harnessed for  youth empowerment and nation’s building.

High point of the occasion  was presentation of awards to  platoons 1,5 and 7 that  emerged  first, second and third positions respectively.
