He spoke ar the passing-out ceremony held across NYSC zonal offices on Thursday in the state.
Tanimu advised the corps members to continue inspiring and mentoring younger Nigerians as they prepare to take on leadership roles.
“As you leave, uphold those virtues NYSC has imbibed in you. We expect you to remain vanguards of unity, to continue to inspire other young people and to mentor our younger ones.
” Very soon, some of us will vacate the scene and you will take over the leadership. Nigeria has high hopes in you,” he said.
He encouraged the former corps members to give their best in any field they find themselves, noting that the world outside is highly competitive.
“Be the best at what you do. Out there is a competitive world market. Take advantage of the various entrepreneurship programmes NYSC has given you.
“Do not worry about starting small. What matters is your ability to harness resources and grow big,” Tanimu stated.

“Pursue your dream with passion. Believe in your dream and move into the competitive sphere. Push your way through, and very soon you will be there,” he added.
