He said, “We want to extend palliatives to members of the National Youth Service Corps,” he announced, explaining, “Each one of you will receive the sum of N30,000, that amount will be credited to your accounts as soon as your bank details are provided to me”.
He continued: “In addition to that, we have provided you with 100 bags of rice, 10 bags of 100kg beans, 10 gallons of cooking oil and 10 bulls.”
The governor urged the corps members to strictly follow the camp regulations, promoting harmonious living amongst themselves and engaging in activities that contribute to national peace.
“I want you to be dedicated and loyal to constituted authorities. Make friends in this part of the country so that together we can build a prosperous Nigeria with sustainable economic growth and development”, Governor Zulum urged.
Governor Zulum also conveyed his appreciation to the Federal Government for enhancing security conditions in Borno State, which paved the way for the revival of the NYSC orientation camp in Maiduguri after a suspension lasting 13 years.
