This was disclosed by the state NYSC Coordinator, Mrs Olayinka Abdulwahab, in in Minna yesterday.
Bago had made the pronouncement during the swearing in of 2024 Batch B Stream One orientation course on Tuesday.
She noted that the governor had equally promised to sink five boreholes and additional toilet facilities for both male and female hostels.
Mrs Olayinka further disclosed that she has taken delivery of 600 bags of rice and 20 cows, adding that the items were received with
elation by both corps members and camp officials.
She revealed that the process for the payment of the N200,000 was ongoing, while the survey for the five boreholes and the toilets has commenced.
