The NYSC used the occasion to showcase and advertise various categories of products developed by corps members courtesy of her Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme to the other participants drawn from manufacturers, bankers, traders, farmers, cooperative societies as well as the general public.

The various SAED products stand involved Bio Gas, Agro-Allied, ICT, shoes and bags, pastries, cosmetics and so on.

Impressed by the quality of the products and ingenuity of the corps members, the stakeholders commended the NYSC scheme and appreciated the corps members by buying a good number of the products.

While inspecting the products, the CBN Branch Controller, represented by the Director of Corporate Communications Department, was marvelled at the biogas initiative and instantly developed a special interest.

He requested a proposal from the NYSC and pledged to work towards developing it further.
