Seriake Dickson

Bayelsa State on Monday donated 700 mattresses to lodges accommodating members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) across the state.

The state Governor’s aide on NYSC Matters, Mr. Kelvin Appah, handed over 500 mattresses to the NYSC state Coordinator, Mrs. Loto Bolade, in addition to 200 others he sent to the coordinator last year.

Appah said that the State Governor, Seriake Dickson, was passionate about the welfare of the corps members in the state.

Appah, who is a Senior Special Assistant (SSA) confirmed that last year 200 mattresses were handed over to NYSC for serving corps members.

He said: “This donation now makes it 700 mattresses released to the Scheme for the comfort of these Patriots. The governor is proud of your quality service to the state and is doing everything possible to make your service year a remarkable one.” 

He noted that the government was working on the permanent orientation camp, the increment of state allowances and many other welfare packages for corps members.

Receiving the mattresses, Bolade commended the government for his support for the security and welfare of the corps members. 

She charged the corps members to reciprocate the governor’s interest in the scheme by redoubling their services to the state in their places of primary assignments and in community development services.

Loto said that the mattresses were enough to provide comfort to the corps members in their lodges.

She commended the governor, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) and the SSA in charge of the NYSC for the gesture.
