According to Mgbemena, 200 of the awardees are former corps members who distinguished themselves across the NYSC’s four key areas: the orientation course, primary assignment, community development service, and the conclusion of their service.
“Others that will also be honoured by the president under the NYSC Hope Alive Initiative are 10 ex-corps members that suffered various degrees of permanent disabilities while serving their fatherland,” he said.
He added that the Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, the Director General of NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, and the NYSC management team are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the award recipients and other guests at the event.
