Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake
Dickson, has approved a 100 per cent upward review of the monthly allowance for
corps members posted to the state with effect from April.
Dickson announced this yesterday
when the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Major
General Suleiman Kazaure, visited him in Yenagoa, the state capital.
He urged the NYSC boss to
complement the efforts of the state government in fishing out those who
manhandled corps members during the 2019 elections.
Special Adviser to the Governor
on Media Relations, Mr. Fidelis Soriwei, in a statement quoted Dickson as
describing corps members as “critical national assets that need the support and
protection of every right thinking individual to enable them carry out their
assignments effectively.”
The governor commiserated with
the NYSC family over the killing of two corps members at Swali, a suburb of
Yenagoa, two weeks ago, noting that the state government has already begun the
process of bringing those found culpable to book.
He promised to complete the
ongoing NYSC permanent orientation camp at Kaiama, Kolokuma/Opokuma Local
Government Area of the state before leaving office next year.
To enhance the safety and
security of corps members, he said government has already provided special
communication line to them for prompt response in the case of any emergency.
Earlier, the NYSC DG said he was
in the state to inspect facilities at the NYSC Orientation camp.
