Tinubu to honour 210 ex-NYSC members
No fewer than 210 corps members will be honoured by President Bola Tinubu at the president’s National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Honours Award for 2020 to 2023 service years.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja by NYSC’s director of media, Emeka Mgbemena.
According to him, the award ceremony will hold on Tuesday at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa at 11 a.m.
Mr Mgbemena said that the awardees are made up of 200 ex-corps members who excelled meritoriously in all the four cardinal programmes of the NYSC.
The programmes, he said, are orientation course, primary assignment, community development service and winding -up/passing-out in the course of service in the 2020 to 2023 Service years.
“Others that will also be honoured by the president under the NYSC Hope Alive Initiative are 10 ex-corps members that suffered various degrees of permanent disabilities while serving their fatherland,” he said.
He said the minister of youth development, Ayodele Olawande, director-general of NYSC, Brig.-Gen. Olakunle Nafiu and NYSC management were looking forward to welcoming the award beneficiaries and guests to the event.
