The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced a parting gift of N100,000 for each of the 4,254 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream 1 corps members departing camp.
According to Sanwo-Olu, the money would be delivered next week directly into the corps members accounts.
He made the pledge on Tuesday during his address at the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) closing ceremony for the 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream I corps members, held at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Iyana Ipaja.
The governor also announced a sum of N5bn for the construction of a new permanent site for Lagos NYSC camp, as well as automatic employment into the Lagos Public Service for the best 100 corpers after service year for the batch.
He said, “This year alone I will be putting available a total of 5bn that will be used to start the full development of the permanent site for NYSC,” Sanwo-Olu said.
“For this batch we have 4254 and with all sense of responsibility and because you have been very hardworking, each and everyone of you will go home with a N100,000, the money will be made available into your accounts by next week and your directors will credit your account.”
