The National Youth
Service corps in Oyo State would have been portrayed in a bad light without the
disbursement of the sum of one thousand five hundred naira (#1500) for fare to
corps members. It was made a statutory payment by the national leadership of
NYSC to enable prospective corps members get little money for transport. The payment
has two stages. The first payment was the insurance of a thousand five hundred
naira to the young graduates rendering selfless service to their fatherland.
It may interest you to
know that the collection of this money by corps members started at 5.00pm last
Saturday and ended at about 6.30pm. It was continued on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
of the present week. According to a reliable source who spoke to our
correspondence during the week under review, we gathered that the disbursement
was on course. Statistics and other facts on ground had shown that over 300
corpers in the camp have reserved their payment as there was discrepancy in the
disbursement.
However, the next phase of payment might
likely commence in the coming days before the end of the orientation course as
it is to the manner of the administration on camp. This phase ensures that
every graduate under the watch of NYSC, Oyo State receives another sun of one
thousand naira totaling two thousand five hundred naira.
At the end of the
exercise, the biblical citation says that says “cast your bread upon the
waters, for after many days you will find it again” would be that the handiwork
of these graduates has begun to be appreciated and value.
