The First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has said the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), is passionate about youth development and places premium on schemes geared towards the betterment of the younger generations.
One of the schemes, she said, was the National Youth Service Corps, adding that his husband holds in high esteem the contributions of Nigerian youths to nation-building through the NYSC.
The first lady disclosed this at the flag-off of medical outreaches under the NYSC Health Initiative For Rural Dwellers held in commemoration of the scheme’s 50th anniversary. She also urged Nigerians to support the activities of corps members to ensure they continue to make an enormous impact on the local economy and rural dwellers.
“Mr President is particularly passionate about the NYSC. His support for the Scheme is driven by his belief in one Nigeria, and sincere appreciation of the contributions of these young men and women. To this effect, the First Family always treats corps members serving in Daura, Katsina State, to presidential receptions during Sallah festivities.
“While I join millions of Nigerians in celebrating the NYSC at 50, I call on the management of the scheme as well as the corps members not to relent in their efforts in promoting unity of the country by providing quality service delivery to the Nation irrespective of State or place of service.
