Enugu govt. increases NYSC members’ allowance




Delta state governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi
Enugu State Government has announce increase in the allowance for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving in primary healthcare facilities in rural areas in the state.

The Commissioner for Information, Mr Ogbuagu Anikwe, announced this in Enugu on Wednesday while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the State Executive Council meeting.
Anikwe said that medical doctors serving in hospitals in rural areas would henceforth receive N30, 000 monthly from the state government as against N3, 800 being given to them currently.
Similarly, he said, pharmacists, nurses, radiographers, laboratory scientists and statisticians would receive a monthly stipend of N20, 000.
He announced that the government also planned to review the service condition and welfare of other set of corps members in the state.
The commissioner explained that the increase in allowances of the corps members serving in health facilities was to further ensure that health services were taken close to rural dwellers.
“The government has approved that each corps member selected to work as a medical doctor in government hospital in the rural areas will get a monthly stipend of N30, 000.
“All of these will cost the government extra N31.2 million per annum but it is an expense that is worth it. It is to ensure that health facilities are available at the door steps of our people,” he said.
Anikwe said that the government noted the challenges of getting medical personnel to work health facilities in rural communities and decided on the incentive.
According to him, the council decided that one sure way to solve the problem is to get health personnel from the NYSC who will be encouraged with an increased stipend.
The commissioner said that the state government had invested much in rural communities and would want such facilities to have direct impact on the inhabitants.
“Before now, Enugu had a peculiar problem because the state was paying a certain amount as allowance and it led to an influx of youth corps members from all over the country, wanting to serve here.
“It then became impossible for the state government to continue to sustain that stipend because we are not out of the woods yet.
“So, we are not unmindful of what to do for corps members but everything we are doing, we check our purse.
“I am sure that as the finances of the state government improves, we will come to a point where everybody is given an allowance that enables them cope with the condition of life in the country,” he said.
Anikwe said that the government was first looking at very critical sectors, adding that others would follow soon.
He said that the governor, Mr Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, was passionate about making residents of the state competitive and healthy “and that is why his economic blueprint traversed the entire state”.
Also, Commissioner for Works, Mr Greg Nnaji, said that the state government had approved the renovation and upgrade of eight district hospitals across the state.
Nnaji said that the gesture was to reduce the pressure on secondary health facilities in the state and to ensure that residents did not have to travel to the state capital for medical attention.
He said that such hospitals and clinics would now wear new looks while modern health equipment would be installed in them.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that all youth corps members posted to rural communities of the state are paid monthly stipend of N3, 800 each.

NYSC launches Job Portal

The Director-General, National Youth Service Corp (NYSC), Brig.-Gen, Sulaiman Kazaure, says a national curriculum vitae bank and job portal will empower Nigerian graduates.
Kazaure made the remarks on Friday in Lagos at the formal launch of the two projects, which was in collaboration with Diamond Bank, Dragnet Solutions Ltd, Gr8jobs Ltd and Sigma Pensions Nig.
The website address, through which graduates can access the portal is http://www.nuscjibs.org.
According to the NYSC boss, the launch of the portal was to take care of the welfare of both serving and past corps members.
“The portal will, among other benefits, serve as a platform for corps members to get information on job vacancies and market themselves to prospective employers, who are searching for suitable candidates.
“It will also provide means of verification of credentials.
“NYSC has been taking steps to empower corps members for self-employment through one of our programmes – the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme.
“Among the strides we have made so far, are the in-camp and off-camp training in various skills in partnerships with the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Bank of Industry.
“Through this, the corps entrepreneurs will benefit from start-up loans at single digit interest rates,’’ Kazaure said.
According to him, the management of the NYSC is consolidating on the successes of the programme through initiatives such as the establishment of Zonal Integrated Skills Centres in the six geopolitical zones.
“The ones for the South-west and North East are already at completion stage at both Ekiti and Gombe states respectively.
“It is gratifying to note that the number of corps members that are subscribing to the SAED programme has continued to grow.
“The reason stems from the fact that self-employment remains the best option in the face of the difficulty of securing white collar jobs.’’
Kazaure commended the NYSC state coordinator and others, whose ingenuity gave birth to the initiative and urged corps members to take advantage of them.
In her keynote address, Mrs Omomene Odike, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Gr8jobs Ltd, one of the partners, said that the initiative would contribute to Nigeria’s economic development.
“This will show that technology remains the only way out in driving today’s economy.
“I, therefore, urge corps members to get on the job portal as it connects all graduates nationwide.
“It is going to give access to the latest job available in the market as well as avail you opportunity to showcase your skills,’’ she said.
Mr Robert Giles, Head, Retail Banking at the Diamond Bank Plc, remarked that youths need more of information beyond banking.
According to Giles, the youths need a platform to showcase themselves and their talents.
He said that it was a good thing that NYSC bought into the initiative.
“We are proud to work with you and are committed to ensuring the sustainability of this initiative,’’ he said.
In his remarks, the Lagos State Coordinator of NYSC, Mr Mohammed Momoh, said the link created by the national job portal between outgoing corps members seeking jobs and employers of labour was a step in the right direction.
Momoh noted that such graduates would use the platform to reach out to the job market as well as create contacts.
He added that the initiatives would also reduce unemployment among youths in the country. (NAN)

No clash between Corps members and Soldiers in Kano– NYSC Coordinator


Alhaji Ladan Baba, the Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Kano has debunked media reports that there was a clash between soldiers and some corps members in the orientation camp at Karaye Local Government Area of the state.







The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)
A statement by Aliyu Ahmed,the NYSC public relations officer and made available to newsmen on Sunday in Kano denied the report.
According to the Coordinator, there was also no any clash between the military,Paramilitary and the corps members as reported.
“The attention of the Management of the NYSC has been drawn to news reports of skirmishes between a group of Corps members and the Camp Commandant, Capt. Anyaegbunan during the ongoing 2017 Batch ‘B’ Orientation Course at Karaye.
“We wish to state for the records that the face-off started as a result of actions taken by a group of Corps members in solidarity with their colleagues who were being punished while loitering within the Camp Premises as social activity was going on.
“The chanting of solidarity songs by the Corps members was an effort to get the erring Corps member released from the Camp Commandant which later ignited a rowdy session”, he said.
The Coordinator added that the situation was immediately brought under control after he addressed the Corps members on the issue.
“I promised to interface with the Camp Commandant to ensure that punishment and reward for Corps members are handled in line with the provision of the NYSC Bye law”.
He reminded the Corps members of the need to adhere to the channel of communication in the Camp and assured them that NYSC Management would continue to implement policies and programmes that will enhance the welfare and security of Corps members in the Camp and during the service year.
The Coordinator also drew the attention of all media organizations on the need to also adhere to their age-long tradition of balance and objectivity in news reporting.
He further urged them to always verify their sources of news and to report objectively, saying normalcy has since returned to the Camp as all scheduled activities were on going without hindrance.
The NYSC Coordinator also called on the public to always ignore such unbalanced reports so as to maintain the existing peace and unity among the corps members and the country at large.
