The Governor equally promised to sink five boreholes and additional toilet facilities for both male and female hostels.
Olayinka further disclosed that she had taken delivery of 600 bags of rice and 20 cows, adding that items were received with great elation by both corps members and camp officials.
She said the process for the payment of the N200,000 was ongoing, while the survey for the five boreholes and the toilets announced by the governor has commenced.
