NYSC penalizes 4 corpers in Enugu, Chime honours 21 others

By

Twenty-one (21) Batch ‘B” 2012 NYSC Corps members who served in Enugu State were on Thursday presented with honours awards by the state government for their exceptional performances during the service year.

However, four corps members were penalized for either absconding during the service or disobeying NYSC rules.

The awards were presented by the State Governor, Mr. Sullivan Chime who was represented by his Deputy, Mr. Sunday Onyebuchi on the occasion of the
passing-out ceremony of the corps members, at the Michael Okpara Square, Enugu.

Twenty-seven other corps members received commendation letter at the ceremony for their various contributions in the areas of their primary
assignment towards the development of their host communities.

The State Governor’s NYSC Honours award came with a cash prize of N100,000 for the first position while 2nd to the 10th positions received N80,000 cash each.

The State NYSC Governing Board Chairman’s Merit award winners received a cash prize of N60, 000 each.

In an address on the occasion, Governor Chime affirmed the continued determination of the state government to reward corps members who excel in the discharge of their responsibilities in the state, adding that the regular payment of the allowance of corps members in the state was to motive them to do better.

The Governor reassured the NYSC Management that government would continue to tackle the scheme’s challenges with a view to making its operation smooth and relevant to the people.

According to the Governor, the on-going building of a 500-bed hostel at the NYSC orientation camp, Awgu is a pointer to government’s effort to make the scheme’s operation relevant.

He therefore charged the corps members to be good ambassadors of the NYSC scheme by allowing the useful lessons of patience, tolerance, dignity of labour and selfless service, learnt during their service year be their guiding principles in their future endeavours.

The State Chief Executive enjoined the corps members to embrace the credit facilities by the NYSC and other financial institutions to set up businesses to save them from the frustration of searching endlessly for jobs as government cannot employ all the teeming youth.

Earlier in an address, the State NYSC Coordinator, Mr. Hilary Nasamu announced that 3,096 of the 2012 Batch ‘B’ Corps members were passing out, expressing happiness that none of the members died during the service year.
He pointed out that one corps member absconded while 3 others had their service year extended for infringing the scheme’s by-laws.

Microsoft Is About To Leave One-Third Of All Computers Vulnerable To Hacking

By
Hundreds of millions of computers running everything from ATMs to the power grid will be vulnerable to hacking next month when Microsoft stops supporting its old Windows XP operating system. Hackers have been holding onto flaws in Windows XP and waiting to exploit them until after the software giant stops issuing security updates on April 8, experts say. Adam Meyers, vice president of intelligence at Crowdstrike, a cybersecurity firm, said it was “fairly dangerous” to continue using the 12-year-old operating system because after the deadline “victims can’t defend themselves.” “I certainly wouldn't run Windows XP after the 8th," Meyers said in an interview. Microsoft announced six years ago it will no longer provide security patches or technical support for the out-of-date software. Yet about  one-third of computers  around the world -- or about 500 million PCs -- still run Windows XP. On Microsoft’s website , a clock ticks down to next month’s Windows deadline an...

50 life lessons you can still learn now that your young.....

By
You’re stronger than you think you are. Mistakes teach you important lessons. Every time you make one, you’re one step closer to your goal. There is nothing to hold you back except you. You can press forward long after you can’t. It’s a matter of wanting it bad enough. No matter how much progress you make there will always be the people who insist that whatever you’re trying to do is impossible. You are limited only by your own imagination. Let it fly. Perception is reality. Your instincts can be trusted. There is only one question to ask yourself: “What would you do if you were not afraid?” It’s often hard to tell just how close you are to success. The only mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you’re too scared to make a mistake. Never let success get to your head, and never let failure get to your heart. You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how ...
