NYSC Lauds Sanwo-Olu Over Corps Members' Welfare In Lagos

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has lauded Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for prioritising the welfare of corps members in the state.

As earlier disclosed by Sanwo- Olu, the Lagos State approved a monthly stipend about three times higher than other states for corp members serving in Lagos.

Fatima Abubakar, the Chairman of the NYSC National Governing Board, gave the appreciation on Monday while on a courtesy visit accompanied by other members of the administration to the Governor at the state house, in Marina, Lagos.

“We are aware of what the state government has been doing for NYSC in Lagos. We have found out that Lagos is one of the most friendly states for the scheme. 

"Our state coordinator has full access to all government stakeholders, which is the reason the scheme is being run smoothly in Lagos.

“Lagos government, without being prompted, pays quarterly subventions to the scheme in the state. This is major progress for NYSC because we know what the scheme is going through in other states.

"This is something unique and we convey our appreciation to the governor for this opportunity," she commended.

Reacting to the commendation, Sanwo-Olu pledged continued support to the scheme to encourage commitment by the corps members in carrying out their assignment.

“As a responsible government, we understand how critical the contributions of corps members are to accelerate development in communities across the state. 

"Beyond being graduates serving their country, they are also the leaders we will be passing the baton of leadership to in the not-too-distant future. As such, we see corps members as part of those we need to help develop and take their comfort as our responsibilities," Sanwo-Olu said.
