Twelve serving corps members were celebrated  by the National
Youth Service Corps in Anambra State for hooking up with their life
partners during their service year in the state.
The couples, all of 2019 Batch ‘C’ set, including some that were
redeployed to the State, said they found their missing ribs during
their orientation camp or documentation before proceeding to commence
their primary assignments at their different organizations in the
State.
The couples include Eze Obinna and Oluchi Peace, Henry Nwachoko and
Charles Ruth, Oluchukwu Davis and Ahedo Etiosa.
Others are Nsofor Obianuju and Ohale Nkemakolam, Ogburie Collins and
Nwokearu Chinyeremaka, Bernard Faith Amarachi and Okafor Chukwudi.
Speaking during the event, the State Coordinator of the National Youth
Service Corps, Mr. Kehinde Aremu described the event as unique, saying
that there had never been an assemblage of marriage in the history of
the Scheme.
He attributed the success story to conducive environment and the
friendly disposition of the people of the State and the government,
calling on the celebrants to reciprocate by investing in the State and
thanked Governor Willie Obiano for his commitment towards welfare of
Corps members in the State.
On her part, Assistant Director, Corps Welfare and Health Services,
Mrs. Ify Nwafor, said one of the reasons for establishing the scheme
is for integration, including chances for corps members to meet the
love of their lives.
One of the couples, Henry Nwachoko said he met his wife while she was
praying at the family house of the Christian Corpers fellowship.
