Corps Thank God For Members After Election Duties
The director-general of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Maj-Gen. Suleiman Zakari Kazaure, has commended corps members who worked as INEC ad-hoc personnel for the just-concluded 2019 presidential and National Assembly elections in the country.
In a press statement issued yesterday by the NYSC director, Press and Public Relations and Protocol, Mrs. Adenike Adeyemi, Kazaure commended the NYSC management and corps members for their “courage, high level of discipline, patriotism and neutrality in the conduct of this historic national assignment.”
Kazaure said that the “resilience you all demonstrated in the face of the initial challenges encountered in matters of welfare in several states has raised the nation’s confidence in you as an emerging generation of Nigeria leaders.
“While commending you once more, it is our ardent hope that you will go into the next phase of the electoral duties, i.e the governorship and state assembly elections on 9th March, 2019, with similar zeal, patriotism, and high sense of responsibility, We pray for God’s continued protection upon you as you prepare for the coming phase.
“Management wishes to assure all corps members of their commitment to working with relevant stakeholders to promptly address all matters relating to your security and general welfare throughout and after this election season.
“In this regard, management calls on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to, as a matter of urgency, settle all outstanding training allowances and other entitlements of the corps members who participated in the conduct of the presidential and National Assembly elections, and to avoid delay in the settlement of their allowances for the next phase of the elections,” the DG said.
