The coordinator thanked Govn. Aminu Tambuwal for his love and unparalleled support of the scheme in the state over the years, especially his commitment toward the sustenance of payment of allowances to Corp members.
" I also seize this opportunity to thank the Sultan of Sokoto for his unflinching support to the scheme, this has aptly demonstrated his love for youths and NYSC in particular," Yakubu Yaro said.
He urged institutions to continue supporting corps members on business development plans and interprises.
