They now find themselves in Daura and other parts of the country. Whenever I go to my town, I get in touch with members; some of them from Lagos, some from Port Harcourt“Whenever I meet General Gowon up till today, I thank him for initiating the NYSC. It is a nationalist and patriotic thinking that led to the development of the scheme."The post Some Lagosians living in Victoria Island have never been to Ikeja - Buhari appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
