Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State has assured members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) posted to the state of premium welfare and security in the state.
The governor gave the assurance on Friday during the swearing-in ceremony of the 2023 batch B Stream 2 at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Yikpata, in the Edu local government area of the state.
Speaking through his deputy, Mr Kayode Alabi, at the event, Governor Abdulrahman assured “continued support of the government for the welfare and security of corps members currently serving and those newly deployed to the state for their national service.”
He also expressed his confidence in the government’s resolve to find a solution to the present economic downturn.
“The government is aware of the ongoing hardship and various complaints. I wish to assure you that efforts are in top gear to address all hitches and further reposition for a better, stronger, and more reliable economy.
He also charged the corps members to be purposeful in their various engagements. He explained that youth are the bedrock of all societies.
The governor advised the corps members to invest their national service in productive endeavours that could enhance the development of the country.
Earlier, the state Coordinator of the NYSC in Kwara State, Mr Onifade Olaoluwa Joshua, in his introductory address, appreciated the governor for his generous support for the scheme.
He also appealed to the stakeholders for more support and enjoined them to make their presence felt in the camp by erecting structures and projects that would be named after them.
The oath of allegiance was administered to the corps members by the Kwara State Chief Judge, who was represented by Hon. Justice T. S. Umar.
