The governor of Ekiti state,

allowance of Corps members in the country from N19,800 to N50,000.
He made the appeal in Ise Ekiti
during the closing ceremony of the orientation course of the 2017 batch “A”
stream 2.
Represented by Lanre Ogunsuyi, his
Commissioner for Information, Youths and Sports; Fayose said: “Nigerians must
collectively join me to mandate the federal government to increase the
allowance from N19,800 to N50,000.
“On our part, the Ekiti
government will provide all the necessary support for the Corps members to make
their service year memorable in the state.
Meanwhile, the National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC) State Coordinator, Ukagha Eze, charged the corps members
to see themselves as leaders of tomorrow.
“I want to charge all Corps members
to always see themselves as leaders of tomorrow and stay away from corruption
during and after the service year,” she said.
On the security of Corps members,
the Permanent Secretary State Ministry of Information, Kola Ajumobi assured
corps members deployed to the state of safety in their national assignment.
“Ekiti State is the most peaceful
state in Nigeria, Corps members can tour the 16 local governments of the state
any time they like, they are very safe,” he said.
