Delta State Government has apologised to the over 3,000 corps-members of 2014 Batch ‘C’ chapter of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) who served in the state for failure to offset allowances due to them till the completion of their service year.

The governor, however, promised to pay them all the outstanding allowances through their individual bank accounts soon.

In an address at the passing out ceremony for the outgoing NYSC-members in Asaba at the weekend, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa advised the young men and women to brace up to confront the challenges they would encounter in the labour market, saying they had gained some experience in their service year to draw from.

Okowa, who was represented at the event by his deputy, Mr Kingsley Otuaro, promised to sustain the state’s NYSC health scheme for rural dwellers, noting that any scheme that bore directly on the lives of the citizens was always dear to his administration.

He charged the outgoing corps-members to embrace the new change mantra in the country and contribute to Nigeria’s greatness in any capacity they might find themselves in future.

Five members of the batch bagged the state government’s merit award for the outstanding contribution in their place of primary assignment, with Njoku Ogoechi-Chiawolam receiving the State Governor’s Award for the best corps-member of the year, ‘Batch C’ 2014.
