By Godwin Agia, Jalingo
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has donated the sum of N1 million to Rejoice Isaac, a former corps member who lost her left arm in an accident during her service in Taraba State.
Rejoice Isaac, identified by TR/24C/2523, completed her one-year mandatory service in Taraba and was involved in a motor accident during her service year, resulting in the amputation of her arm.
The NYSC Director-General, OO Nafiu, facilitated the donation through the NYSC Hope Alive Foundation, acknowledging Rejoice’s patriotic gesture and her determination to persevere despite her loss.
During a visit to Rejoice’s family home, the Taraba State Coordinator, Mr. Ella Aji Williams, conveyed that the Director-General was deeply concerned about Rejoice’s circumstances and aimed to support her in pursuing a business venture.
“The Hope Alive Foundation made the presentation in recognition of her situation and to affirm that the NYSC will consistently support corps members who sustain serious injuries or disabilities during their service year,” he stated.
Rejoice’s father, Mr. Sylvester Danjuma, expressed gratitude for the gesture, noting that his daughter is industrious and will utilize the support to overcome her life challenges.
“My daughter is not idle; she is currently engaged in her POS business and sells other items. With this assistance, she will be able to continue living a normal life,” he remarked.
