Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State on Saturday
promised to review upward the monthly allowances the state government has been
paying to corps members serving in the state.
Addresing the Corp members during the monthly environmental
sanitation exercise in Sokoto on Saturday, Tambuwal made the pledge when while
speaking to the corps members after their participation in the exercise.
According to him, the review would increase the
allowance from the current N4,000 due to every corps member in the state
monthly, upwards.
"We
have not arrived at a tentative figure as at now but the gesture is aimed at
further motivating the corps members to do much more, in their diligent service
to the nation.
"We
want to also better complement the monthly allowances being paid to them by the
Federal Government,'' he added.
Tambuwal further promised to provide more
double-bunk beds and mattresses at the permanent NYSC Orientation Camp at
Wamakko, headquarters of the Wamakko local government area of the state.
The governor also pledged to provide more utility
vehicles to the scheme, as well as rehabilitate its state Secretariat at
Kalambaina, near Sokoto.
NYSC State Coordinator, Mr Thomas Yamma,
had earlier pledged that the NYSC scheme would fully complement the efforts of
the state government to ensure that the entire state was kept clean.
This, according to Yamma, is crucial to enhance
environmental and personal hygiene in Sokoto State and keep diseases at bay.
