He encouraged corps members to utilize the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) training they received to achieve self-sufficiency.

He also expressed gratitude to the Katsina State government for its hospitality and security support for corps members.

During the low-key ceremony, three corps members—Adanu Theresa Onyeche (KT/24A/1937), Sunday Bose Aladi (KT/24A/2125), and Abdul Fatai Usman Isyaka (KT/24A/2860)—were recognized as outstanding and received state awards.
