To becoming the Corps Liaison Officer and motivating the corps members into several activities geared towards community development and fostering unity among sister communities.


This week, Kennedy brought up an idea to ensure that corps members are challenged beyond what they know.

Education C.D.S

Environmental C.D.S

Medical C.D.S

Sports C.D.S as well as

Skill Acquisition C.D.S


Anyiam Kennedy, to demonstrate leadership represented the Medical C.D.S group and appointed his second in Command Adesuyi Joseph(the Marshall) to chair the event


It was a long stretch and questions came from all angles and works of life including current affairs, basic facts,sports, mind boggling puzzles and very few questions from health.



In the end:

The Education C.D.S won represented by Esther Nneka and Oluwabukunmi Eve


Runner up, Medical C.D.S represented by the Corps Liaison Officer(Anyiam Kennedy E) and Folasayo Angella


OTHERS WERE: Sports C.D.S, Environmental, and Skill Acquisition C.D.S(in order of achievement/success in the quiz)

He presented prizes alongside the Marshall to the winners and congratulated them for a job well done.


While Anyiam Kennedy's group(the medical CDS) were not so happy with their performance because they were used to being in the spotlight. He urged them to cheer up as the goal of the event was not to have a winner but the greater goal was to inspire other C.D.S groups to make impact just as the medical C.D.S have been doing for a long time now.


He also urged the winners to come up with more creative ideas to help move their well-being and the occupants of their host community forward.
