Muhammad Fadah said the scheme would continue to make its workplace conducive, especially as it related to the female gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gen. Fadah who was represented by the Director of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Mrs Christy Uba, said ever since gender mainstreaming became a national issue, the NYSC keyed into it and internalised it into its activities and programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that the scheme had made giant strides on capacity building of gender officers and sensitisation and advocacy campaigns in rural communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to her statement: <em>\u201cI believe the choice of the NYSC as one of the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to be honoured by the presence of the Minister to unveil this Pad Bank is trajectory to the scheme\u2019s commitment to effective and efficient service delivery.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gen. Fadah added that the unveiling of the bank would launch a new era of partnership between the NYSC and Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and  that the benefits of the initiative include the provision of free pads to female staff members and visitors who may have emergency flow in the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This, he said, was especially in the areas of gender sensitivity, provision of pad bank and support to the female staff in the workplace and during orientation programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Head of Reforms Unit, Abdullahi Baba, said the main objective of the initiative was to support career women not to leave their workplace or absent themselves from duty during their monthly flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abdullahi also said that since 2014 when the issue of menstruation gained global attention, May 28 every year had been set aside as the World Menstrual and Hygiene Day to create awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said that the Director-General, having taken cognisance of women\u2019s schedule of work, approved the establishment of pad bank in the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his words: <em>\u201cThis is due to the fact that menstrual flow does not give notice and this can lead to lateness to work, absenteeism from workplace and also discomfort on the affected staff while at work, all which can contribute immensely to low staff productivity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Myschoolnews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Government has established a Pad Bank for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) female staff, corps members and other<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1765,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>FG Setup Pad bank for Female Corpers &amp;
