Speaking at the official closing ceremony of the Batch B stream 1 at the camp, Sanwo-Olu, who was dressed in the NYSC uniform noted that a sum of N5bn will be allocated for the construction of a new permanent site for the Lagos NYSC Camp.
He added that the state would reward every ‘corper’ passing out with a N100,000, as well as automatic employment for the best 100 corpers into the Lagos Public Service upon completion of their one year service in the state.
The governor said, “You truly deserve a permanent site; so this year alone, I will be making available a total of N5bn that we will using to start the full development of a permanent site for NYSC. Also, because you have been very hard-working, every one of you will go home with N100,000 each.
“The money would be paid into your account next week. That is how we do in Lagos. On a final note, because we are a performance driven government, I will be monitoring this particular batch. At the end of your service, the best 100 corps members will get automatic employment.”
Sanwo-Olu also donated a 32-seater Hyundia bus to enhance transportation for the corpers.
Commending the governor’s gesture, a netizen, De_moshood, wrote “I keep saying it that we must protect Lagos State. Most of the people clamouring for protests aren’t enjoying this kind of thing in their state.”
Another social media user, iamamakae, wrote, “Sanwo- Olu is the real GEN Z papi. I love how young at heart he is.”
Yet another commentator, iamofilz, wrote, “The investment in the NYSC camp’s permanent site is a testament to your commitment to the youth. Well done, sir.”>>>CONTINUE FULL READING HERE
