The Corps Members serving in Odukpani Local Government Area of Cross River State, today, were thrown into jubilation following the official handing over of a newly constructed 3 Bedroom Lodge by the Local Government Admin. to them.
Speaking while cutting the ribbon to unveil the lodge, the Head of Local Government Administration (HOLGA), Hon. Ntufan Felix Eyimon, appreciated the management of NYSC for it’s effort in using the Corps Members for National Integration and repositioning their mindset for economic development.
He asserted that the Governor of Cross River State, Sen. Prince Bassey Otu and his Government would continue, as Youth Friendly Governor, to provide an enabling environment for the Corps Members posted to the state. He described the Corps Members Lodge as one of the ways of replicating ‘Sweet Prince Bassey Otu’s kind gesture to the Scheme in the state.
Hon. Ntufan further maintained that the Corps Members would also be provided with ( as it has always been) adequate security to ensure that they are well protected, as they also continue to collect monthly allowance from the Local Government.
In his reaction, the NYSC Coordinator, Mrs Oyenuga Mojisola Joke, applauded the HOLGA for extending the magnanimous nature of the state government to the NYSC.
Mrs Oyenuga, who was represented by the Assistant Director Information and Public Relations, Mr. Peter Enuma, said that NYSC is a Tripartite arrangement, from the Federal to the Local Government, noting that Odukpani Local Government and the likes had not reneged to that arrangement.
She however assured the management of the NYSC continues collaboration with them, just as she equally admonished the Corps members to also continue to maintain their good ambassadorship of the Scheme.
