Update from SIGGY .ng

Adamawa National Youth Service Corps, (NYSC) Member, Joy Ehinome Ihenyen (AD/20B/1932) , has converted an abandoned building to a clinic in Kpogno community, Siggy reports.

The Director-General of the NYSC, Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim, said on Monday evening that the idea of the clinic came up when the corps member was taking part as an enumeration officer in the National Homegrown School Feeding Programme, which entailed corps members touring remote villages of the state to enumerate and register primary school pupils for the school feeding programme.

While registering the pupils in this village (Kpogno), Ihenyen observed that several people, particularly the children and the elderly, were not looking healthy enough.

After some inquiries, she realized that the rural dwellers had to travel 14 kilometers away to access the nearest clinic in another village called Borong.

Ibrahim said, “She became disturbed and took it upon herself to change the ugly situation.

“Using her orientation on NYSC’s Community Development Service Programme, she strategized, secured the necessary support and approval of the NYSC scheme, mobilised the relevant stakeholders, particularly the Adamawa State Primary Healthcare Development Agency and most importantly collaborated with the people of the community.”

“Seeing and trusted her as a messiah, the community happily and willingly donated a four-bedroom dilapidated building for the project in addition to other contributions towards its success.”

“And finally it is mission accomplished for Copa Joy!!! As the people of Kpogno Community no longer have to travel 14 kilometers to access simple medical care. Copa Joy, an indigene from far away Edo State, Ekpoma LGA, has come to their rescue through the human scheme, NYSC.”

“To ensure continued sustenance, management and viability of the health care centre, corps member Joy partnered with the State Primary Healthcare through the Girei LGA PHC which is to continue providing drugs, services as well as other medical consumables and non-consumables.”

Highly commendable

Impacting people's lives positively, she did well.

Adamawa state government and her state government should reward her handsomely, it's not easy to even renovate a room apartment in this buharis hard time

Don't bother about that, there's Presidential NYSC award scheme that she will benefit from. The award comes with a certificate of honour, an automatic employment and scholarship up to PhD level. Until 2016 beneficiaries used to travel abroad for studies, however, that privilege had to be suspended, because some of them abused it. I know more than 7 from my organisation that refused to return to the country, after completing their studies, contravening the laws of the award.
Back the thread, I commend the lady, for seizing an opportunity, she probably wouldn't have spent one kobo of her personal money on the project.

Same Adamawa state Government who never thought it wise to do so will now find a way to reward her handsomely

Same Adamawa state Government who failed in her responsibility
What an Irony!
What a mirage!
What a Malady!

Typical Nigerian..
Nothing goes for nothing.
Rub my hands make i rub your hands ko...
A girl with such high spirit would not wait for job to come to her rather she will go for it..
Do you know what it means to bring all the players, stakeholders, participants, the community and NYSC together?
I bet, you don't have that spirit.

The real slay queen.

Thank you corper.

I remember my class mate built a bus stop at our service state.
I joined him with the bricklayers to build it.
He was desperate to be given recognition by NYSC. He believed it would be a spring board for him.

Very good of them

That's the spirit. The real problem solver. she'll always be remembered by the community. WHO should just pick her.
