Zulum gifts each NYSC member N30,000 in Borno

Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has donated N36 million to be shared at N30,000 each to the 1,215 National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members deployed to the state.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Strategy, Isa Gusau, who made this known in a statement issued on Saturday, August 26, 2023, said Zulum made the donation during his visit to the NYSC orientation camp in Maiduguri, the state capital.

Gusau said Zulum also allocated 100 bags of rice, 10 cows, 10 bags of 100kg of beans, and 10 gallons of cooking oil for special meals to be prepared for the corps members during their ongoing three-week orientation.

He quoted the governor as saying: “We want to extend palliatives to members of the National Youth Service Corps.

“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.

“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.”

Governor Zulum urged the corps members to adhere to camp rules by living peacefully among themselves and engaging in acts that would foster peace in the country.

NYSC orientation resumed last week in Borno State after 13 years of suspension due to insurgency.

During the swearing-in ceremony at the orientation camp, Zulum announced the commitment of his administration to make the state the most friendly to corps members.

He also assured them that they would have good memories to share about Borno State after their service year.
