Director-General of the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC), Shuaibu Ibrahim, has called on Nigerians and corporate bodies to emulate the humanitarian gesture of Nigeria’s First Lady, Aisha Buhari.

Mr Ibrahim made the call on Tuesday while addressing corps members at the orientation camp in Ganjuwa Local Government Area of Bauchi State.

While lauding Mrs Buhari for donating medical equipment which according to him, had helped in rural areas, he appealed to stakeholders to emulate the first lady.

“I implore them to take a cue from the first lady by donating well-equipped ambulances for the operation of NYSC mobile clinics as well as other essential equipment and drugs,” the NYSC boss said.

Represented by the state coordinator of NYSC, Namadi Abubakar, the Director-General also appreciated the House of Representatives for the progress made so far on the Bill for the establishment of the NYSC Trust Fund.

“I also wish to thank Nigerians for the continuous show of support for the proposed trust fund, as overwhelmingly demonstrated during the public hearing conducted by the House Committee on Youth on the matter.

“I wish to once again appeal to the appropriate authorities to provide the necessary enablement for the actualisation of the fund,” he said.
