The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has donated N1 million to Rejoice Isaac, an ex-corps member who lost her left arm in an accident during her service in Taraba State.
Rejoice Isaac with TR/24C/2523 who completed her one-year mandatory service in Taraba, was involved in a motor accident during her service year resulting in the amputation of her arm.
The NYSC Director-General, OO Nafiu, made the donation through the NYSC Hope Alive Foundation, citing Rejoice's patriotic gesture and determination to continue her life despite her loss.
Speaking during a visit to Rejoice's family home, the Taraba State Coordinator, Mr. Ella Aji Williams, said the DG was concerned about Rejoice's plight and wanted to support her with a business venture.
"The Hope Alive Foundation made the presentation in recognition of her plight and to affirm that the NYSC will always continue to support corps members who sustain serious injury or disability during the service year," he said.
Rejoice's father, Mr. Sylvester Danjuma, expressed gratitude for the gesture, saying his daughter is hardworking and will utilize the support to continue her life struggles.
"My daughter is not lazy, even now she is doing her POS business and sells other things, With this succour, she will be able to continue her normal life," he said.
