The Federal Government yesterday gave N5 million each to the families of 10 National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members killed during the post-election violence in the North.

The gesture came on the heels of the planned inauguration of a 20-man committee to investigate the violence.

Speaking during a visit to him by family members of the slain Youth Corps members at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, President Goodluck Jonathan vowed to deal with those found to have been responsible for the mayhem.



“I have decided that each of the 10 families of these gallant young men and women will receive a token monetary compensation of N5 million. I appreciate the fact that no amount of recognition can adequately compensate for the deep void that their passing has created in your individual families,” he said.
