The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Thursday in Abuja, inaugurated the maiden edition of the Director-General’s Community Development Service (CDS) award.
The Director-General of NYSC, Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, at the inauguration of the CDS activities for 2021, said that it was to revive the commitment of youth corps members to the scheme.
Ibrahim said that “the idea behind the award is to spur corps members and CDS officers to wake up from their slumber and realise that CDS is no longer business as usual.”
The Minister who was responding to a question on what was delaying the completion of the road from State House reporters after the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said information available to him now is different from the one he had at the time he made the promise.
He said: “I made that statement here a few weeks ago based on information available to me at that time. But, it is very obvious now based on the reality on ground and the challenges being faced by the contractor including funding which we are trying to resolve, it is likely that we would not be able to meet the target I earlier set for making sure that that road gets opened before the rainy season.
