12 corps members to repeat service year in Niger
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Niger state says 12 corps members in the 2018 batch ‘C’ stream 1 will repeat their service year for absconding from their primary assignments.
NYSC Coordinator in Niger state, Mrs. Funmilayo Ajayi, made this known in an interview in Minna on Tuesday.
She said that the affected corps members failed to obtain permission from the relevant authorities before leaving their places of primary assignments.

Mrs Ajayi said their behaviour contravenes the rules and regulations of the scheme, adding that the corps members would be re-mobilised to undergo one-year mandatory service.
She explained that at the completion of the service year, corps members that are outstanding are rewarded while those that absconded will repeat their service year.
