Bayelsa Government on Friday pledged to settle the medical bills of four
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members involved in an auto crash on Monday
in which two of them died.
Mr Suoyo Appah, the Senior Special Assistant to Gov. Seriake Dickson on
NYSC Matters, made the pledge in Yenagoa during the issuance of NYSC discharge
certificates to the outgoing corps members.
Appah said:“The state government always feels uncomfortable when a corp
member dies; that is why we extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of
the deceased corps members.
“For those that are hospitalised, the governor has made a provision for
their bills to be settled and also wishes them quick recovery.”
He said that the state government had continued to provide welfare
packages to ensure smooth service year for all corps members deployed to
Bayelsa, adding that the government had regularly rewarded hardworking corps
members in every batch with grants.
In her speech, the state NYSC Coordinator, Mrs Loto Bolade, commended
the state government for its assistance to corps members.
Bolade said that 1,401 corps members successfully completed the service
year and urged them to be good ambassadors of the scheme.
