About four weeks ago, I was called to serve my country; Nigeria. That three weeks experience in Ondo State Orientation Camp Ikare – Akoko was indeed a thrilling one.

I had the opportunity to serve as the flag bearer to escort Mr. Governor and as the Director of Socials of my platoon. Holding this position in camp was a whole lot especially as almost every night rolled by with social activities and the performance of my platoon in various social activities depended on me. I employed the use of Democratic, Transformational and Laissez-Faire styles of leadership which helped to bring several individuals with cultural diversities and upbringings to come together and achieve set goals. The experience also exposed to a greater level of inter-personal skills.

Yes, i indeed worked hard and played hard. At the end of the orientation camp, i was posted to the Ondo State Civil Service Commission. I’m looking forward to an innovative and empowering service year and beyond.
