NYSC DG HAILS RIVERS GOVT
...As Fubara promises more support for Scheme

The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, has applauded the Rivers State Government for its continued support for the Scheme.

Nafiu made the commendation when he visited the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, at the Government House in Port Harcourt.

He particularly thanked the State Government for its mobility support, the payment of monthly allowance to Corps members as well as its plan to overhaul facilities at the Orientation Camp.

The Director-General remarked that the good gestures of the State Government and residents had attracted more Corps members to serve in Rivers State, and went on to assure that NYSC would continue to contribute to the socio-economic advancement of the State.

He, however, appealed for the relocation of the NYSC State Secretariat to a more serene location within the State Capital.

Nafiu, who said he was in the State to visit the 2,586 Corps members of the 2025 Batch 'C' undergoing Orientation Course at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Nonwa-Gbam, disclosed that a total 8,349 Corps members of Rivers State origin, made up of 3,374 males and 4,975 females, were serving in other States across the country.

He also disclosed that NYSC was projecting about 650,000 Corps members for mobilization next year, adding that there was therefore the need for the State Government to build additional hostels to accommodate more Corps members.

Welcoming the Director-General, Governor Fubara said the State Government had upgraded the facilities at the Orientation Camp when his administration came on board.

He stated that the hospitable nature of Rivers people was endearing the State to Corps Members, adding that the Government would always put the necessary things in place for their comfort.

Fubara promised more support for the NYSC State Secretariat and a conducive environment for the South-South Area Office 2

She did it.
Against all odds. Through the pain, the stares, the silence, the doubt.
She wore that khaki with pride. She showed up. She served.

They said NYSC would test you—and they weren’t lying. But they didn’t know how much she has already been through before she ever stepped into camp. They didn’t know the strength it takes to stand tall when one of your legs isn’t there, but your spirit refuses to sit down.

There were days she was tired—physically, emotionally. Days she questioned, “Why me?” But somehow, every morning, she chose to keep going. She didn’t come this far to stop halfway.

So today… she didn’t just celebrate her POP.
She celebrate her resilience. Her courage. Her fight.
She celebrate the version of her that kept showing up, even when it hurt.

She is officially an Ex Corper—but more than that, she is a walking testimony of strength, faith, and perseverance.

This isn’t the end. It’s just the beginning. And if she could survive this—there’s nothing she can’t do.

Here’s to her.
To the battles she has fought silently.
To the journey ahead.
And to the life she refuse to let be defined by what she lost—
Because she know exactly what she carry inside her.

Go out there and excel beyond limitations.
Congratulations to you Dear for your bravery.🥰🍾💃
