“The scheme stands out and is placed in a vantage position to gain the full support and attention of Fubara’s administration.
“The state government is pleased with the activities of NYSC and corps members in growing and developing the state. This has been a huge motivation for the state government to intervene in the scheme’s areas of need, especially, the regular payment of state allowance to all corps members in the state.
“Also, the ongoing massive renovation of camp facilities, commitment to build two new hostels for boys and girls with each to accommodate at least, 1000 persons, the donation of office accommodation to the SSAO II, donation of two plots of land to build a befitting state coordinator’s lodge, design to construct a new state secretariat complex amongst other areas of intervention.”
