Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has pledged N100,000 to each National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member leaving the state’s orientation camp.
The announcement was made during Governor Sanwo-Olu’s address as the special guest of honor at the NYSC Passing-Out Parade/Closing Ceremony for the 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream I Corps Members, held at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Iyana Ipaja on Tuesday.
In addition to the N100,000 gift for each corps member, Governor Sanwo-Olu announced a N5 billion pledge towards the construction of a permanent site for the National Youth Service Corps Orientation Camp in Lagos State. He also committed N100 million for the NYSC support staff.
“This year alone I will be putting available a total of N5 billion that will be used to start the full development of the permanent site for NYSC,” Sanwo-Olu said. “For this batch, we have 4,254 corps members and with all sense of responsibility and because you have been very hardworking, each and every one of you will go home with N100,000. The money will be made available into your accounts by next week and your directors will credit your account.”
