NYSC Cancels August CDS, Biometric Clearance Over Planned Protest

Posted by Thandiubani on Mon 29th Jul, 2024 - tori.ng

This was contained in a memo sent to State Coordinators, Local Government Inspectors (LGIs), and Zonal Inspectors (ZIs) across the 36 states of the federation.

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has cancelled monthly clearance and weekly community development services for corps members ahead of the August 1-10 nationwide protest.

This applies all over the country.

NYSC said it is cancelling its activities ahead of protests scheduled to begin on August 1.

The protest, which is themed “End Bad Governance in Nigeria”, is planned for August 1 to 10.

This was contained in a memo sent to State Coordinators, Local Government Inspectors (LGIs), and Zonal Inspectors (ZIs) across the 36 states of the federation sighted by The Nation.

The memo read: “In furtherance to our earlier memo reminding corps members of the scheme’s policy prohibiting participation in any form of protest, all corps members are informed that biometric clearance and CDS activities are suspended with immediate effect. The date for the presumption of these activities will be communicated in due course,” read the memo.

“Due to this postponement of all NYSC activities, all corps members are directed not to wear their uniforms for any reason this week.

“During this period, all corps members are assured that they will be attended to in their mufti.

“I wish to reiterate that the scheme promotes unity and will not tolerate any corps member participating in any form of protest that could lead to the breakdown of law and order.”
