The 164 members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) who bagged presidential awards between 2012 and 2014 were yesterday presented with appointment letters into the federal civil service as promised by the federal government.
Also, nine ex-corps members who sustained injuries during their service year and as a result have disabilities were also recognised under the NYSC‘Hope Alive’initiative and enlisted in the federal service.
Chairman, Federal Civil Service Commission Mrs. Joan Ayo, while presenting the employment letters at the commissions headquarters in Abuja, noted that the employment was based purely on merit, and as such did not respect federal character principles.
“We are proud to enlist you into the federal civil service because you have demonstrated those core values. Your appointment is based on merit and therefore, it has nothing to do with federal character. The appointment is also devoid of any political Influence and as such you are expected to carry out your duty without any political affiliation,”she said.
The Director General of NYSC, Brigadier General Johnson Olawumi, in his remarks said the government had again emphasised the importance of national service, noting that exceptional diligence by youths corps members would not go unnoticed.
Olawumi however urged the newly employment youths to maximise the opportunity provided for them by NYSC and the federal government.
“As you go into the field, you’re to be the mirror through which others are to look for good conduct. What we have just emphasised is that this country recognises the importance of service,”he said.
He also promised that anyone who sustained injuries leading to special needs during the service year would not be left to their fate.
“Should anybody suffers disability in the cause of service, and those who will in future suffer situation, such Nigerian youth shall not be abandoned to their fate.”
