Two youth coppers who served in batch A in Delta State lost their lives during the service year while one is missing.
The state NYSC Director Mr. Chris Ngbemena who disclosed this at a cocktail party organized by Delta state government in honour of the outgoing Batch A Corp members said that besides the death, about 98 percent of the coppers rendered their service diligently.
Mr. Ngbemena disclosed that so many of the coppers were outstanding in community service and particularly paid tribute to a copper who served in Etua community in Ndokwa West local government area for constructing a bus stop stand.
He commended her for saving from her meager allowance to construct the bus stop stand and enjoined other youth Coppers still serving to emulate her.
The director who expressed appreciation to the state government for giving logistic support to the scheme, however appealed to the state government to pay the outstanding one month allowance to the outgoing coppers.
Delta state governor Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan in his speech promised to reward any copper who excelled in community development service.
The Governor who was represented by the commissioner for Transport Mr. Lawrence Osiegbu said he has passion for Bus stop stands in all routes used by Delta state Transport Service as it will encourage the patronage of the transport service.
He said the transport industry is thriving in the state and promised that more vehicles will be bought to boost the state Delta line.
The governor said coppers were not being owed in the state and explained that if they were being owed at all it will be for the month of February which has not ended.
Dr Uduaghan however promised to look into the report in case there were some who have not received their January allowance.
