The state Commissioner for Youth Development, Ambassador Ndanusa Usman Sheu, confirmed the disbursement of the fund to the corps members.
In a brief interview, Ndanusa said payment of the fund demonstrated the commitment of the present administration to the welfare of corps members.
“I can confirm in affirmative that the state government has started crediting the bank account of corps members with N50,000 each. This is to honour the promise of Governor AbdulRazaq, which he made to them when he visited the NYSC Orientation Camp.
“Our government is not just making promise; it is walking the talk and fulfilling the promise. We are extending the same financial support to officials of NYSC in charge of orientation camp and security agents,” he said.
The commissioner, however, disclosed that security situation would determine the relocation of NYSC to its permanent orientation camp in Yikpata, Edu Local Government Area of the state.
