Legit.ng gathers that the DG noted that the purpose of the presidential award was to encourage corps members to be diligent and urged them to be improve on the standards already set by their predecessors.

Kazaure added that as a result of corps members’ projects in the areas of infrastructure, education, healthcare delivery and agriculture in many rural communities across the country, public perception about the scheme had gotten better.

He said: “As you commence the selection process, I implore you to approach the task dispassionately with the emergence of candidates that will be acceptable to all.

“The Community Development Service remains one of the major areas where the NYSC scheme has recorded remarkable success over the years.”

The NYSC’s director of press and public relations, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, in a statement, pointed out that the President’s NYSC Honours Award was instituted in 1974 as a way of encouraging corps members to embrace national development by embarking on Community Development Service projects, among other activities.

The scheme’s acting director, corps welfare and inspectorate, Sanusi Abdul-Rasheed, said the award would encourage corps members to see the dignity in labour and national integration and reward excellence in service.
