 And also in the news, the National Youth Service Corps organizes its first environmental sanitation day on the 31st of July 2021 in all local government areas across Nigeria. The program was organized due to findings from the recently concluded nationwide health initiative rural dwellers program, which indicated that greater percentage of ailments recorded and treated across the country had a direct link to poor sanitation and hygiene practices. Reporter Nima Ebeledike tells us more. The Director-General of NYSC, General Shuaibu Ibrahim, has approved the observance of the NYSC National Environmental Sanitation Day, owing to the fact that the Nigerian government has always relied on the scene to take the lead in various fronts, especially in areas of sensitization and mobilization of communities at the grassroots. This sanitation exercise has created more awareness. We've used the opportunity to sensitize the community on the essence of hygiene and cleanliness. If you are aware of our program, the Health Initiative for Rural Dwellers, you realize that the last one we just held, we realized that there was a link between poor sanitation and most of the diseases and the illness that were treated. So that is what bettered this program. In Lagos, we visited the Atyosa One local government, where coppers were assigned to clean various locations, including the Obaubu Neurus Palace. What we're trying to do is to teach the leaders of tomorrow with the youth that we should assist with cleaning up our environment. We should assist if maybe other people aren't doing it, we should assist and get the job done. I think it's important that we as youth service members continue to impact the society by helping around, letting people know that the environment needs saving, basically, and it keeps us in check. It just makes people more conscious of the environment. A cleaner society is better for everybody. We all know cleanliness is close to godliness, so if we're all in areas where parts are dirty, parts are a little bit clean, you know, it's always good to put in effort to clean the environment. The Bale of Oniru commends this program and expresses his gratitude to the NYSE scheme. In fact, it is a great pleasure having this type of occasion in our palace today. By the youth coppers, in fact, it's a great thing. The National Environmental Sanitation Day, organized by NYSE, is a program that should be encouraged. We look forward to the continuity of this program as it promotes a cleaner, safer, and better Nigeria. Nema Iberedike plus TV Africa.
