“Permit me to stress that gone are the days of being expectant of a life-time job immediately after service.
‘‘It is deception of oneself if you think along that line, it is better for you to brace up and think of what you can do yourself.

Akeredolu charged them to bring to bear in future endeavours the knowledge acquired during the service year, for their self-dependence and societal growth. (NAN)
