One Hundred and nineteen members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) serving in Osun State are to repeat their mandatory service year following various infractions that contravened the corps regulations.
NYSC, in a statement issued after the low-key passing-out ceremony of the 2024 Batch B Stream 1 corps members in the state, the State Coordinator, Mr. Agbor Obim, noted that 2,057 corps members successfully completed their service, while 86 received service year extensions and 33 were declared as absconders due to misconduct and non-compliance with NYSC bye-laws.
Speaking at the Olorunda Local Government area distribution centre, Agbor emphasised the importance of discipline, urging corps members to avoid night journeys, travel only from designated motor parks, and refrain from wearing the NYSC uniform while traveling for their own safety.
He highlighted the role of the NYSC in promoting national unity, commending the outgoing corps members for their resilience and service despite the challenges faced during the year.
“We thank the Almighty for guiding our corps members through their service year, and commend them for their meaningful contributions across the state,” Agbor said..
