The corps members, who were led by the Zonal Inspector, Princess M.A Ajiboye  and Local Government Inspector, Mr C.C Obiakala of  Lagos Island, donated palliative items, such as Spaghetti, indomie Noodles, sugar, salt, tomatoes paste and garri among other items, which were received by executives of the Lagos Island Local Government.

   The Zonal Inspector, while appreciating the executives  for their warm reception, noted that the project would not have been actualised without the  encouragement of the  dynamic leadership of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Lagos  State Coordinator, Mr  Eddy Megwa . 

  Ajiboye further noted that the corps members decided to embark on the project as a means of contributing their widow's mite towards the reduction of hunger and crimes that arose  from the global pandemics. 

In his remark, the Vice Chairman,  Mr Wadood Babatunde Bashorun, who represented the Chairman and members of the local govt legislature, thanked the management of the Lagos NYSC and  corps members for their extraordinary gestures to the residents and assured that the items will get to the extremely indigent people in the community.

 

   Bashorun noted that  because of the confidence and trust reposed on the corps members posted to the local government, they  are also used to mobilise revenue for the government.

    He  promised to engage the chairman to see how they can partner with the corps members in the production of the face masks and other covid 19 products .
