President Goodluck Jonathan Yesterday Monday presented awards to the 2012, 2013 and 2014 Recipients of the President's NYSC Honors Awards.
Present at the awards with him were Gov. Godswill Akpabio, Youth Minister Boni Haruna and NYSC DG Brig. Gen Johnson Bamidele.
He also gave automatic employment to the 164 award winners of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 batches of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
While speaking at the President’s NYSC Honours Award at the State House Abuja, said those still unemployed would be absorbed into the Federal Civil Service.
The corps members were said to have been selected from the three batches, “based on their outstanding performances during their service years”.
The President also announced automatic scholarship for any of the 164 awardees who wants to advance their education.
Nine corps members, who became physically-challenged during their service year, were given N23.5 million cash under the NYSC Hope Alive programme. They had varying degrees of permanent disabilities ranging from amputated arms to amputated legs and disfigured burns from accidents.
Ibeto Group donated N5 million to one of the nine injured corps members, who could not attend the event because of the injury.
Akwa Ibom State Governor Godswill Akpabio donated N5 million to the nine corps members and Heritage Bank donated N1.5 million to each of them.
Three best overall female corps members, one from each of the three batches, also received plaques and cash reward from the National Council of Women Society.
Hmm things are beginning to happen in Nigeria!
Congratulations to all the Recipients,I hope it continues like this and gets even better!
Wow!!!...
ReplyDeleteThat's very nice of my presdo....
Congra....
Isn't this damage control, why were the past ones not done as and at when due? Suddenly Mr President has realized there are lots of backlog of events to be done. Hope the federal government fulfill the promises made to these ones and not let it slide like the ones that were made after the NIS recruitment scam.
DeleteBLOG ANALYSER: I am so happy for them!!!
DeleteWhat the president has done and places he's been in less than 4wks, he's never done in all his 6yrs!!!! Why give them scholarship now?! Why didn't they give them in 2012,2013,2014, d year they finished? Noo... They wouldn't have cos it was never in thier plans but now they need d youth for votes!! Can we d so call youth be wise and see beyond our nose? After elections they will go back to thier normal abandonment. D so called organizers sure don't know what hardship is cos they have being under d presidency and been spoon fed. If president and his cohorts and done all what they doing now, they won't have so much trouble trying to win our votes. Rubbish...spits!!!!!
DeleteMy President is working

Hahahaha. NTA is dead and gone. I watched the highlights on Channels this morning.
DeleteI hope they keep up the good work. Sounds interesting. It'll make people take nysc more serious, when they think of what they could get from it. When I served I was a ghost corper. I hate anything nysc. It feels to me like a waste of one year of someone's life.
Nice 1.

Congrats to all.
ReplyDeleteJona show us fuel oooo if not i go vote for APC
Combined? I see
ReplyDeleteThe president seems to be doing a lot after the election was extended
What if the election had held? Will he still hold all these activities?
#justpondering#
congrats to all the recipients and kudos to Mr Presido and thanks to strong opposition party.
ReplyDeleteDe didn't say what de did dt made dem outstanding during dia service year. Or did de just select one of dia owns? Dts naija for u sha, d rich getting richer n d poor, poorer.
ReplyDeleteThey did outstanding Nysc/community service projects. And they were the best from the whole of Nigeria. It'll take alot of time for them to monitor projects
DeleteI wish we could have elections every other day....but giving cash gifts, how sustainable is that? What was the criteria for choosing these corpers
ReplyDeleteBut wait oh, if oga has created so many jobs corpers from far back 2012 won't be needing these handouts.
I don't think GEJ is a bad person it's just that this is one of the first times he's thinking, strategizing and been tactful. Meanwhile the average nigerian youth please don't be influenced, we have seen these kind of propaganda from a lot of politicians before the question is who they become when they get power? Think and choose wisely. Thanks stella
Spot on!
DeleteThis is really very nice. Congrats to the winners.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to them.
ReplyDeleteStrategy to win election. Why he no do am since. Congrats to the recepient
ReplyDeleteGEJ has been working so hard lately wow,his every were!!!nice1
ReplyDeleteAll of a sudden, GEJ remembers to honor corp members. The things a President will do in the face of strong opposition. I hope all these promises are not empty ones and just cheap talk as usual,, better still...campaign gimmicks.....i hope they will be fulfilled.
ReplyDeleteAnnd errrmmm, whether they are fulfilled or not, it's coming too late already. These were some of the things we expected from him before now....but the emergence of Buhari is pushing him to work. Too late GEJ, too late!
Yimu,he thinks Nigerians are fool.
ReplyDeleteLol!!! All na campaign strategies!!? I'm not moved
ReplyDeleteMr president well done, trying to fit in 6yrs of work in less than 3weeks *Stella's side eyes*
ReplyDeleteIs this why elections were shifted? Shame of a country! We won't vote for you.We now know you better.You had six whole years.You did nothing but made yourself, your wife & your friends richer.We want a strong Nigeria not a joke & drama Nigeria.
