Anambra State Government says it will soon review upwards, the monthly
allowances of corps members performing their compulsory National
Service in hard-to-reach areas of Anambra State to compensate them for
working in areas with bad terrain and impassable road network.
Governor Willie Obiano stated this at Umunya NYSC Temporary
Orientation Camp during the closing ceremony of 2019 Batch ‘B’ Stream
one orientation exercise.
The Governor, represented by Commissioner for Youth Empowerment and
Creative Economy, Mr Afam Mbanefo, said that his government will
continue to create enabling environment for corps members to excel in
their places of primary assignments and promised to provide necessary
support for their community development initiative.
Governor Obiano noted that a reward system had been instituted to
honour deserving corps members, who excel at the end of the service
year and charged them to be agents of change in their respective host
communities.
He urged corps members to embrace various agricultural activities
mapped out by Ministry of Youth Empowerment and Creative Economy in
collaboration with Ministry of Agriculture, Mechanisation Processing
and Export in Youth Agriculture Initiative.
Governor Obiano reiterated government’s resolve to complete perimeter
fencing and other amenities at NYSC ultra modern permanent orientation
camp at Umuawulu/Mbaukwu.
The Coordinator, Anambra State NYSC, Mr Kehinde Aremu, said that NYSC
would support the Obiano administration to achieve its objectives
through posting corps members to health institutions in area with bad
terrain.
Mr Aremu noted that NYSC in Anambra had been supportive of Governor
Obiano’s efforts in delivering dividends of democracy to the people.
He, however, urged corps members to deliver selfless service to Ndi Anambra.
Parade by corps members added glamour to the occasion.
