The DG expressed delight at the level of success recorded during the 2018 Batch A orientation course, and urged the coordinators to communicate policy issues discussed at the meeting to camp officials for effective conduct of the Batch B exercise.
He said: “I was impressed with what I saw in some states, especially with regards to the implementation of the skills acquisition programme, feeding of corps members, camp sanitation as well as the quality of accommodation.
‘‘Notwithstanding the successes recorded, the states faced some challenges which I expect this gathering to discuss with a view to charting ways forward.
