On Tuesday, 20th July 2021, to corps members serving in his hometown of Daura, President Muhammadu Buhari donated two cows from his farm, 20 bags of rice, and N1,000,000 (one million nairas).
He also expressed his deep attachment to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and its impact so far, saying it broadens the horizon of citizens, opens up opportunities, and enhances understanding of cultural differences.
Speaking when the corps members serving in Daura visited him for Eid-el-Kabir homage, the President said he had consistently commended former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon for the initiative, which had created more opportunity for uniting the country.
President Buhari urged the youth corps members to make the most out of the opportunity of traveling around the country, especially in understanding different climates, cultures, languages, and our views on life.
“Every time I meet with former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, like recently, I still commend him for the initiative of the NYSC. The NYSC is spectacular in many ways.
“Some of you have come from Port Harcourt, Lagos, and Calabar and you can now feel the heat of Daura and how close it is to the desert,” he said.
