Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a female corps member had stormed the market to hail her mother.
Sporting the NYSC uniform, the female corps member stormed the market where her mum fries snacks for a living and flaunted her certificate.
After flaunting the certificate before her mother, the lady then saluted her mother who looked excited. Both mother and daughter then hugged afterwards. The lovely moment was shared by the lady on TikTok.
