Makinde made the disclosure on Thursday at the NYSC camp, Iseyin.

The announcement, one day after he reduced the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) tuition fees, sent the graduates into jubilation.

In a tweet, Makinde assured them that the issues raised by the NYSC State Commandant would be addressed.

The governor disclosed that it was during his youth service in Port Harcourt that he got a job and met his wife.

“I am an example of how the national youth service could foster national integration. I wished them the best for the future.”
