Corps Members
Forty-Five corps members will repeat the service year for absconding for three months in their places of primary assignments without permission. This was revealed by the State Coordinator, National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Lagos State, Mr. Cyril Akhanameh yesterday.
Akhanameh said: "Many of the corps members left their places of primary assignments for over three months without permission, adding that when queried, they could not give any genuine reason for being absent.”
“45 corps members will repeat their service year due to physical absence from their places of primary assignments.”
Akhanameh also noted that the level of punishment will be determined by the level of their offences. He said some will serve for three or four months in any part of the states that the NYSC Authorities deem fit.
It will be recalled that this same issue occurred in almost all the states where corps members passed out. It was revealed that many of the corps members absconded from duty or performed below expectations in their respective places of primary assignment due to lack of seriousness on the part of the corps members.
