We are pleased to officially announce the quintessential Dinner for Corps members in Yakurr LGA. It's common knowledge that before now, Corps members used to organise their 'Send-Off Parties' in shards. We have consequently decided to take responsibility to unify these into the classic alternative of a Dinner which will avail us the opportunity to merry, capture wonderful memories and ultimately break ice with one another in way of forming useful alliances for the nearest future. It is hoped that this will be sustained and made an annual event. It is expected to be a night of glamour and accolades as outstanding Corps members together with NYSC officials will be awarded. This maiden edition has been tagged Yakurr Kopas' Dinner or #YKD, for short. The details of the Dinner are as follows; Date: Saturday, 25th March, 2017.                 Time: 19:00.                ...

It was a morning to behold on Sarurtday, January the 28th when the Environmental CDS group collaborated with the Ugep Urban Development Authority, UUDA, for the monthly environmental sanitation.

The exercise ended by 10am and the Executive Secretary of the Authority appreciated the Corps members for a wonderful job. -SERIKI Adebimpe
