The Niger State government on Friday rewarded 10 corps members with state awards at the passing out parade of the 2015 Batch B stream two of the scheme in Minna, the state capital. While presenting the awards, Governor Abubakar Bello, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government and Chairman, NYSC state governing board, Mr. Isah Ibrahim, said the gesture was in fulfilment of the governor’s promise to reward corps members who distinguished themselves in their various places of primary assignment. Bello, who instituted the award at the inception of his administration, said the corps members also contributed “immensely” to the development of the state in their various fields. The governor specially commended a corps member, Dr. Uwaezuoke Ikesinachi, from Abia State for using his profession as a medical doctor to touch the lives of many through free eye surgery, free glaucoma screening for the staff of General Hospital, Minna and free eye screening for all police drivers and other paramilitary agencies. Eight other corps members were also given letters of commendation for their contributions to the development of the state during their service year. He also announced N3,000 token to each corps member as transport money to their various homes, stressing that the welfare of corps members remained a priority to the incumbent administration. Meanwhile, seven other corps members were not lucky as they were made to repeat the programme for absconding during their service year.
