Gov Zulum gifts Borno NYSC corps N30,000 each, 100 bags of rice

On Saturday, August 26, Borno State Governor Babagana Umara Zulum stated that N36.4 million had been set aside as relief funds for the 1,215 members of the youth corps who had been stationed there for their national service.

They will each receive N30,000.

The governor went to the NYSC orientation camp over the weekend, four days after he had attended the reopening of the camp in Maiduguri and the swearing-in of the youth corp members.

He examined a guard of honour mounted by them before speaking to them.

Additionally, Zulum provided 10 cows, 10 bags of 100 kg beans, 10 gallons of cooking oil, 100 bags of rice, and 10 bags of 100 kg beans for the ongoing three-week orientation camp of the youth corp members.

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 instructed the corp members to abide by the camp's rules by maintaining good relations with one another and taking actions that would promote national harmony.

“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.

The governor expressed appreciation to the federal government for enhancing security in Borno State, which allowed the NYSC orientation camp in Maiduguri to resume operations after a 13-year hiatus.
