-Two former members of the NYSC donated six toilets and one septic tank to the community where they served.

- The two identified as Onajite Solomon and Isreal victor embarked on the project because of the inadequate toilet facilities they noticed.

-They wish to get the attention of UNICEF and hope to be engaged in the campaign against indiscriminate defecation in the country.

In what could be described as a praiseworthy development, two ex-corp members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), have given back to the society by building six toilets and one septic tank to the community where they served.

The former NYSC members identified as Onajite Solomon and Isreal Victor were both members of the Batch A, Stream 1 of 2017 and had completed their service in April, 2018. They, however, remained committed to completing the project which they had started.

Reaching out to Legit.ng, one of the duo, Solomon, revealed that the project had taken a good 10 months before completion. This according to him was because they had to solicit funds from well-meaning individuals who related with the good they were trying to do.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
