Governor Umaru Bago Supports NYSC Corps Members
The Governor of Niger State, Umaru Bago, has once again demonstrated his commitment to youth empowerment and welfare by donating 100 bags of rice and 10 cows to corps members currently undergoing the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation exercise.
The donation was presented on Sunday at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Paiko Local Government Area. According to Mrs. Martina Shuaibu-Ibrahim, the NYSC State Coordinator, the governor’s gesture highlights his dedication to ensuring the comfort and well-being of young graduates serving in the state.
A Continuation of Governor Bago’s Support
This latest contribution is not the first time Governor Bago has extended support to the NYSC scheme. Earlier, he donated 600 bags of rice, 20 cows, and approved N200,000 for each of the 1,600 corps members in the 2024 Batch “B” Stream 1.
Such consistent support has not only boosted morale among corps members but also set a strong example of government responsibility toward national service participants.
Why the Governor’s Gesture Matters
Providing food and financial aid to corps members plays a significant role in easing their adjustment to life at camp. Many corps members often face financial strain during the orientation period, and such donations:
- Improve feeding and nutrition in camp.
- Reduce the financial burden on corps members.
- Boost morale and productivity.
- Reinforce government’s role in youth development.
Broader Implications for Youth Development
Experts believe that government investment in NYSC members goes beyond feeding; it contributes to fostering national unity, encouraging skill development, and preparing youths for future leadership roles. Governor Bago’s repeated support sends a clear message that the state values the contributions of young Nigerians.
