The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Kwara State has partnered the state government in distribution of food items to corps members serving in the state.
The palliatives include bags of 5kg Semovita, cartons of vegetable oil, packs of tomatoes paste, packs of sugar, Golden Penny instant noodles and bags of gari.
The NYSC Kwara State Coordinator, Mrs Francisca Olaleye, said the gesture was a parental provision by NYSC Kwara and the state government to cushion the effect of the pandemic.
The state coordinator appreciated the Kwara State government for partnering with the scheme in making a success of the idea.
The state coordinator added that corps members had been formidable impetus in the war against pandemic, and their welfare was the major priority of the scheme.
Olaleye enjoined the corps members to reciprocate the gesture by being law abiding.
She therefore charged them to advance their commitments towards making the state coronavirus-free.
