The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, announced this at the award ceremony which held on Friday in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
Professor Osinbajo directed that the recipients of the awards be employed immediately into the Federal Civil Service. He also announced automatic scholarships for the awardees to undertake postgraduate studies of their choice.
The event was organised for corps members who served in the sets of 2015, 2016, and 2017.
The President’s NYSC Honours Award, which was introduced in 1974, is aimed at encouraging corps members to contribute to national development by embarking on community development projects among others.
