The Federal Government, on Monday, granted automatic employment and Post-Graduate Scholarship to 164 ex- National Youth Service Corps members, who distinguished themselves during their respective service year.

The 164 ex-corps members won the President's NYSC Award during the 2012, 2013 and 2014 service years.

President Goodluck Jonathan, who announced the awards at a ceremony at the State House Banquet Hall in Abuja, said the gesture was to encourage the youth to do more for national development.
"Once again, I congratulate all awardees on a well-merited recognition and honour.
"The entire nation salutes the determination, courage, discipline, commitment and hard work, which you all exhibited during the service period.
"In line with our policy of encouraging our youths to always strive for excellence including serving and prospecting corps members, I hereby announce the immediate employment of the award winners.
"I know some of your state governors, Akpabio and others have employed some of you, but the remaining ones, we will absorb in the Federal Civil Service.
"Also for some of you who may want to continue with your studies, you have automatic scholarship for your post-graduate studies."
