Corps members’ mosquito nets for host communities

Residents of communities under Atiba Local Government Area of Oyo State could not hide their joy on Friday when Corps members in the council moved round to donate treated mosquito nets to them. The residents came out en mass to receive the materials.

About 500 pieces of the nets were donated to pregnant women and nursing mothers in maternity centres in each community. Some of the places visited included Ago-are, Tede, Sabe, Ofiki, Irawo Owode, Irawo Ile, and Owotoro. The Corps members also sensitised the women on the cause, symptoms and prevention of malaria.

The exercise, the Corps member said, was in line with the cardinal objective of the Community Development Service (CDS) of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), which mandated members to contribute positively to the development of their host communities in the period of service.

Hailing the exercise, the NYSC Local Government Inspector, Mr Muyiwa Akinbode, described the exercise as a good development, urging Corps members to keep up the work and continue to make positive impacts on their host communities.
