You see, in this life, there is always a multiplier effect that comes with good deeds. Niger State is about to see a boom in its economy, as Governor Mohammed Bago announced a ₦5 billion budget for the construction of a permanent orientation camp for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
He also announced a gift of ₦200,000 to each of the Batch B Stream I corps members posted to the state as a “bonus” to ensure their comfort.
This comes along with 20 cows and a trailer load of rice.
Indeed, his announcement has numerous economic benefits.
Job Creation
The allocation of ₦5 billion for the construction of the permanent NYSC orientation camp is expected to stimulate the local construction industry.
Also, the significant investment will likely lead to the hiring of various contractors, labourers, and suppliers of construction materials.
Furthermore, increased employment possibilities and revenue for local persons involved in the construction process will be the resultant effect.
Additionally, as construction workers and other stakeholders need their services, ancillary businesses like food vendours and transportation services can see a rise in demand.
Economic Support For Corps Members
The governor’s gift of ₦200,000 to each Batch B Stream I corps member, along with 20 cows and a trailer load of rice, provides immediate financial relief and support to the corps members.
This bonus will enhance their purchasing power and it will make the corps members stay behind in the state instead of relocating back to their preferred state.
The distribution of cows and rice also supports local agriculture and food supply chains, ensuring that local farmers and suppliers benefit from the increased demand.
Improved NYSC Facilities
Investing in a permanent orientation camp for the NYSC has its long-term economic benefits for Niger State.
Improved facilities can attract more corps members to the state.
Also, it would lead to a higher influx of educated and skilled young professionals.
This can boost various sectors, including education, healthcare and public administration.
