INFORMATION REACHING US CONFIRMS THAT THE NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE CORPS (NYSC) MEMBERS TO GET HEALTH INSURANCE IN 2018 BUDGET.
This will be implemented from the one percent of consolidated revenue fund to be dedicated to health, as stipulated by the National Health Act.
The chairman of Senate Committee on Health, Lanre Tejuoso (APC, Ogun Central), disclosed this at plenary on Wednesday while contributing to a motion sponsored by Andrew Uchendu (APC, Rivers).
Mr Uchendu had lamented the insensitivity of officials of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) towards corps members who fall sick during the three weeks orientation.
He made reference to Hilda Amadi who died last month at the NYSC camp in Yipkata, Kwara State.
Miss Amadi, who was a graduate of Oil and Gas Engineering from the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State where she hailed from, was said to have slumped and died on April 26.
Her death came days after she suffered a bone fracture during a morning drill on April 23.
Mr Uchendu expressed disappointment at the fact that no attention was paid to her by the NYSC officials.
“They refused to let her friend, Jennifer Dike, take her home as they insisted that her parents must come from Port Harcourt to pick her up.
“Even when the doctors resolved to take her to Illorin for serious attention, that decision was not implemented,” he said.
