The Minister who spoke through Permanent Secretary, Dr. Babatope Ajakaiye at the closing ceremony of the NYSC FCT 2016 Batch “A”, stream 2, Orientation Course, in Kubwa- Abuja, on Wednesday, assured that his administration would continue to reward corps members who embark on programmes that impact positively on the wellbeing of the residents of the Territory.
“It will interest you to know that recently, I approved the Honours Award/recognition of 76 Corps Members, who distinguished themselves in the course of their service within the FCT in the 2011-2013 service years. I hope to do the same for outstanding corps members of 2014 to date.”
The Minister charged the corps members to accept posting to rural communities in the Territory, where their services would be greatly felt rather than lobbying to be posted to “juicy places.”
Muhammad Bello cautioned corps members against unwarranted and unauthorized travels that usually pose danger to their personal lives, adding that they must present themselves as true ambassadors of change in the various communities where they are posted.
The NYSC FCT 2016 Batch “A”, stream 2, had 2,654 corps members deployed to various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as communities for their primary assignments. [myad]
