President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in Daura,
Kastina State, promised to assist a visually-impaired National Youth Service
Corps (NYSC) member currently deployed to the town.
In a statement, Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said the 28-year-old
Okenala Ahmed, a graduate of Insurance from the Federal Polytechnic Offa, Kwara
State, was among the corps members who paid Sallah homage to Buhari last
Tuesday in Daura, as part of activities to mark the Eid-El-Kabir celebrations.
Garba said: "In the course of the president’s
interaction with the corps members, the Corps Liaison Officer (CLO), Jibrin
Ishak, had appealed for assistance for their physically challenged member.
"According to the CLO, the indigent corps
member, who is from Offa, Kwara State, had earlier contemplated redeployment
from Katsina State due to his poor health condition.
"President Buhari will undertake the cost of
medical care and treatment of Ahmed, who is an Economics NYSC teacher at
Government Day Senior Secondary School in Daura."
