‘Youths obey the clarion call’ opens the acclaimed NYSC anthem which has been sung since 1984 when it was composed by the late Oluwole Adetiran. Since then, the song has spurred Corps members to great feats in various spheres of influence during the mandatory 1-year of service to the country.
It is this same clarion call that the Deputy Commissioner of Police, DC Operations, Enugu State Command, DCP Olasoji Olasunkanmi Akinbayo obeyed, not to wear the white and green khaki, but to give back a landmark support that will make lives better for those who are currently wearing the white and green khaki in Enugu State. This is by the renovation of the female Police and Civil defence hostel within the NYSC orientation camp, Awgu, Enugu State which is in a terrible state of disrepair and dilapidation. The hostel houses Police and NSCDC officers who provide safety and security for Corp members who stay in the Awgu orientation camp for their 21-day orientation programme, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP can report.

This is not the first time that DCP Olasoji Akinbayo would be involved in gestures which bring facelift to infrastructure in and around where he works. NAOSNP recalled that DCP Olasoji Akinbayo did great works in every Division, Area and Command that he has served. This includes Ikeja, Apapa, Mushin, among other places.
Further, in 2015, the incorruptible officer, Olasoji held firm to his integrity as he refused a bribe of NGN 21 million and USD 12,900 offered him to allow a criminal escape arrest. This faithful act was then hailed by the national body of the Nigerian Bar Association in a commendation letter.
