Hostels of the National Youths Service Corps camp in Kwara State have been renovated. The renovation came five months after Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq visited the camp and described the facilities as not fit for human living.

A statement on Sunday also said apart from the renovation, the state government had supplied the camp with 400 mattresses, 200 double-bunk beds, 100 long benches, and other materials "meant to make the camp more conducive for the corps members."

AbdulRazaq had on June 20 visited the camp and pledged to fix the facilities, especially the hostels that were an eyesore.

"We are really grateful to Mr Governor for keeping his words. I'm happy to inform you that the government has renovated three main hostels, including the two-in-one Mayflower Hostel," the statement quoted the Kwara NYSC coordinator, Esther Ikupolati, as saying.

Ikupolati said the camp management had decided to rename the Mayflower hostel as Harmony Hostel in honour of the governor's efforts.
