POP: NYSC Extends Service Year of Seven Corps Members
The National Youth Service Corps has extended the service year of seven corps members, noting that four members absconded in Osun State.
NYSC State Coordinator, Osun state, Mr Adewale Adegoke, disclosed this on Thursday, July 16, 2020.
He said, “1412 will pass out from Batch B stream II.
Four members who absconded from the service would automatically repeat the service year. The seven others would serve an extension of service for various offences committed.”
Adegoke, however, noted that the punitive measures for the erring corps members would serve as a deterrent to other serving corps members.
He further said that, the scheme doesn’t tolerate truancy and indiscipline.
“NYSC will not hesitate to correct such acts in accordance with the provisions of the NYSC Act.”
“Distribution of certificates to Batch B, Stream II, corps members has commenced on Thursday. The scheme has deployed officers to all the council areas in the state. It will ensure strict compliance with the social distancing measures for the days the exercise would last.
“Award winner for the set is Anaya Patience OS/19B/4020 served in Boluwaduro LGA. She produced a jingle on COVID-19. Also, she produced sanitizer and facemasks. Which were distributed to the host community.”
