Presenting the tricycles to the beneficiaries, she said the gesture was aimed at easing their challenges of logistics and enhancing their condition of living.
“I have been seeing some physically-challenged persons within Bauchi Local Government grappling with challenges of logistics, hence my decision to assist.
“I did this, not for them to use it for street begging, but to move around and learn a trade, or seek for knowledge,” said
Lovelyn expressed appreciation to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for accepting the proposal and supporting the project through the Community Development Service (CDS) platform.
While commending community leaders for their support, the corps member urged beneficiaries to make good use of the tricycles and desist from selling it.
