WHO DESERVE TO BE ON THE PAGES OF OUR NEWSPAPER?
Have you flip through the national newspaper recently? Often times what you read are the occurrences of catastrophe, series of corruption stories, Owanbes photographs and many more. Amazing thing is that you least read about the exploit of the corp members, our heroes making magnitude differences far away in our hamlets and villages, even towns across the nation of Nigeria. Corp members whose little impact has been of great relevance to the development of their communities but gone unnoticed.
I have met with such individuals, fellow corp members whose input at their various communities has been of an encouragement and inspiration to me. They deserved being given encomium and I felt obligated to unveil them on this page.
My last expedition to Lafiagi, Edu L.G.A. made it possible for me to witness some of their activities and interacted in-depth on their exploit in their place of assignment and the community at large.Most of the schools especially in the rural areas are short of teachers. Often time it is the corp members that suffer the lot. Typical example is of TJ among many others who took the burden upon himself to organize extra teaching class after school hours for the student without pay. When he was asked what gives him the strength to continue in such selfless sacrifice he got this to say,” This has been borne out my passion to help the less privilege. Their education has been poor and I strive for their improvement academically.
Thank God for the opportunity to contribute something positive to my generation and a life time impact which I must confess that the NYSC SCHEME made it possible.


Activities of the PET members (Peer Educator Trainer) should not go unnoticed. They help spread the news of the menace of the HIV/AIDS, advocate for ABSTINENCE, and educate on Adolescence Reproductive Health in our secondary schools. The important of this initiative is not just to help them being exposed to Sex Education but reduces the chances of the girl child being impregnated at a tender age which often times mar their educational career in life. Take for example the statistic of the male and female corp members we have across the nation to the numbers of male and female students in our secondary schools.

I will like to appreciate and applaud the Christian Corpers under the umbrella of the NCCF for their selfless service to humanity and the nation through the RURAL RUGGED OUTREACH. They endure a lot to reach out to the nook and crannies of the country to give free medication and health care, social services, love to mention just few.Thank you!
