“This 2020 Batch ‘A’ corp members are very unique, they really distinguished themselves individually and as a set. I am highly impressed with their general performance.
” Even when the nation shut down because of coronavirus and we directed them to go home and work virtually, most of them were still eager to work.

“I am proud to say that corps members in Lagos State made visible impacts in all the LGAs,” he said.
