-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.
