In Ondo State, the Director, Corps Welfare and Health Services, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), BENJAMIN AYO-OMOTADE has said inter-tribal marriages among the corps members have continued to foster national unity.

BENJAMIN AYO-OMOTADE made this known while addressing the 2021 Batch ‘C’ (Stream 1) members deployed to Ondo State, at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Ikare-Akoko.

According to him, inter-tribal marriages were hardly witnessed before the advent of the scheme in 1973 hence the NYSC remained the only place where inter-tribal marriages were witnessed through the relationships developed from the orientation camp.

He also disclosed that the NYSC had concluded plans with the management of the National Health Insurance Scheme to integrate corps members into the healthcare system.
