CDS Group with Difference

Community Development Service (CDS Group) is one of the four Cardinal Programmes of NYSC. It is an avenue where corp members contribute positively to the development of their host communities during the period of their service year. 

One of the groups is the Editorial/Publicity Group that complement the activities of the NYSC Public Relation Unit (PRU) in disseminating information to the community.

The FCT Editorial Board CDS GROUP under AMAC has been described as one of the best CDS groups under the tutelage of its amiable, dogged, and resolute CDS officer Miss Yvonne Chinenye Ikwueme and the team of Executives.

The continuous praise Editorial board CDS group is enjoying no doubt is connected with the Educative, life touching, innovative, able to reach out to the host community, well-coordinated and entertaining(all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy) nature of the group.

The group that was able to reach out to the host community through visit to IDP camp and organization of Spelling Bee competition for schools in the host community among other things during the last months of 2018, had its first gathering of the year at the Zoological garden in Area 1 on Wednesday, January 16th, 2019.

The new year special raised lots of excitement among the members in the boards’ group chart when Sam UGBEDE one of the members who see to the smooth running of the group gave out guidelines for the new year special on Tuesday night.

With a large turnout, best interactive section, good plans, and formulations, institution of different bodies for special duties for the good of the host community, and best condition on the first day, no doubt more good things will surely come out of the ever-ready and resilient Editorial Board CDS group and the host community is sure to gain more positively from the group In this 2019.
