of the state Governor, Aminu Waziri
Tambuwal, by the NYSC board Chairperson and Permanent Secretary, Ministry of
Youth and Development, Hajia Amina M Jakada.
While responding, the NYSC state Coordinator, Philip
Enaburue, commended the Sultan, Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar 111, and Governor
Tambuwal saying the gesture will serve as motivation for other serving corps
members.
The NYSC coordinator said the monarch’s effort was
geared towards encouraging corps members not to concentrate in the urban areas alone
where their services would be under utilised
He added that the service of corps members were
more needed in rural communities than the urban areas.
According to him, NYSC had partnered some agencies
to impart business skills into corps members for them to be productive during
and after service.

Development Service, he carried out sickle cell awareness campaign in Gwadavawa
LGA screening over 709 persons to ascertain their genotype status.
