Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State on Saturday promised
to review upward the monthly allowances the state
government has been paying to corps members serving in the
state.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Tambuwal
made the pledge when he addressed the corps members
after their participation in the special environmental
sanitation exercise in Sokoto on Saturday.
According to him, the review would increase the allowance
from the current N4,000 due to every corps member in the
state monthly, upwards.
"We have not arrived at a tentative figure as at now but the
gesture is aimed at further motivating the corps members to
do much more, in their diligent service to the nation.
"We want to also better complement the monthly allowances
being paid to them by the Federal Government,'' he added.
Tambuwal further promised to provide more double-bunk
beds and mattresses at the permanent NYSC Orientation
Camp at Wamakko, headquarters of the Wamakko local
government area of the state.
The governor also pledged to provide more utility vehicles to
the scheme, as well as rehabilitate its state Secretariat at
Kalambaina, near Sokoto.
Tambuwal, who was responding to some requests made by
the NYSC State Coordinator, Mr Thomas Yamma , also
reiterated the resolve of his administration to rid the state of
filth.
Yamma had earlier pledged that the NYSC scheme would
fully complement the efforts of the state government to
ensure that the entire state was kept clean.
This, according to Yamma, is crucial to enhance
environmental and personal hygiene in Sokoto State and keep
diseases at bay.
