President Goodluck Jonathan has announced automatic
employments and scholarships for post-graduate studies for 164 former members
of the National Youth Service Corps.
Jonathan made the announcement at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja, on Monday, during the 2014 President’s NYSC Honours Award and the flag
off of the NYSC Hope Alive Programme aimed at helping corps members who suffer
permanent disabilities during their service.
The 164 awardees were drawn from the 2012, 2013 and 2014
service years for their exceptional performances during their service.
While 55 persons were selected from 2012; 52 were picked
from 2013 and 57 selected from 2014 service year.
Jonathan promised that awardees who would be absolved into
the Federal Civil Service were those who have not yet been employed by their
state governments.
He promised to continue to accord priority to youth
empowerment programmes by initiating policies and programmes that would focus
on youths.
“A nation that does not build the youth is building a nation
for disaster,” Jonathan said.
