The NYSC Ondo State Coordinator, Mr. Sam Amaramiro Pepple has appealed to the Ondo State Government through one of her principal officers to provide the Scheme with more convenient office accommodation in the state.
The State Coordinator made the passionate appeal to the Secretary to the Ondo State Government, Hon. Tayo Oluwatuyi, saying that the few rooms in the Federal Secretariat complex where the Secretariat is currently occupying is not good for efficient service delivery, nor befit the status of the Scheme.
Speaking with the SSG within the complex housing Governor's office in Alagbaka, Pepple described existing office structure as inadequate to contain the ever-growing corps population the state has been receiving in recent years.
He told the Secretary to the State Government that the provision of office accommodation is the responsibility of the State Government as enshrined in the NYSC Act, which was extracted from the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, as amended.
The NYSC Ondo State boss further appealed to the SSG to use his good offices to attract benefits to the Scheme so that the workforce and the corps members can enjoy the good fruits of Governor Aiyedatiwa led administration in the Sunshine State.
Responding, the Secretary to the State Government, Hon. Tayo Oluwatuyi disclosed that the complexity of government workings, most of the time, slowed down action as extensive investigation must be carried out to ascertain proposals submitted by agencies of government.
The SSG, while welcoming the Coordinator to Sunshine State, assured that the present administration has lots of respect for NYSC, being the organisation responsible for moulding and shaping the lives of graduate youths of the country to be responsible leaders of tomorrow.
Oluwatuyi said that he had noted the challenges of the Scheme in the state which included but not limited to provision of office accommodation, welfare of staff and corps members, and promised to discuss with relevant organs of the Government with a view to addressing them.
He thanked the NYSC in the state for supplying manpower to Government agencies and institutions in order to accelerate development in the Sunshine State.
