President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Abuja, granted automatic employment in the Federal Civil Service to 65 former members of the National Youth Service Corps.
In addition to the employment, Buhari also awarded them scholarships to pursue their education up to the Doctorate Degree level at any university of their choice within the country.
Furthermore, he announced a cash prize of N250,000 for each of the top award winners and N200,000 for other award recipients, including the physically challenged ex-Corps members under the NYSC Hope Alive Programme.
Consequently, the President issued a directive to the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, the Federal Civil Service Commission, and the Minister of Education to ensure adherence to the employment offer and the granting of scholarships.
Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, announced the development in a statement he signed late Thursday titled ‘President Buhari grants 65 ex-corps members automatic employment, lists achievements of NYSC at 50.’
