Two corps members serving in Rivers State married in a dream-filled ceremony.
The corps members, Ekiomado Osato, RV/23B/2798, an Edo State native, married her prince charming, Oyeniyi Ifakunle, RV/23B/2893, an Oyo State native.
According to a statement published by NYSC spokesman Christian Onuoha in Port Harcourt on Sunday, the marital vows were exchanged on July 2, 2014, at the Woji Customary Court in Port Harcourt, River State.
The statement continued, “The couple’s love story began at Community Secondary School, Bolo in Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area, when Osato, who had relocated to Rivers State, was assigned to Community Secondary School, Bolo, where Oyeniyi was already carrying out her primary task.
“Having carefully observed the sterling qualities in Osato and convinced that she will make a good wife and mother, Oyeniyi zeroed in on her and got acquainted with her, and the rest as they say, is history.”
In his goodwill message to the couple, an elated Rivers NYSC Coordinator, Mr. George Mfongang, represented by the Local Government Inspector Ogun/Bolo LGA, Mrs. Lekia Nnam-Jacob congratulated the couple and charged them to put God first in their union.
He also enjoined them to build their marriage in love, trust, tolerance, understanding, forgiveness of each other, and mutual respect.
Speaking further, he encouraged other corps members to emulate Oyeniyi and Osato by engaging in meaningful relationships that will lead to marriage, noting that the best way to promote national unity and integration which NYSC is noted for is through the instrument of marriage.
