President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday announced automatic employments and scholarships for post-graduate studies for 164 former members of the National Youth Service Corps.
Jonathan made the announcement at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, during the 2014 President’s NYSC Honours Award and the flag off of the NYSC Hope Alive Programme aimed at helping corps members who suffer permanent disabilities during their service.
The 164 awardees were drawn from the 2012, 2013 and 2014 service years for their exceptional performances during their service.
While 55 persons were selected from 2012; 52 were picked from 2013 and 57 selected from 2014 service year.
Jonathan promised that awardees who would be absolved into the Federal Civil Service were those who have not yet been employed by their state governments.
He promised to continue to accord priority to youth empowerment programmes by initiating policies and programmes that would focus on youths.
“A nation that does not build the youth is building a nation for disaster,” Jonathan said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Jonathan, you are buying favor, not creatng jobs. To you, the approach to everything is corruption. Why are you shoving these people into a federal civil service that is already over-bloaded and people are owed for months? The president of the United States for example, cannot just order for 200 people to be absorbed into the federal service. That is not his job and he won't do it. This is no job creation. It is interference in a function that does not belong to you.
