Sixteen members of the National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC) serving in Anambra are to repeat their one year
compulsory service while three others will serve various terms of disciplinary
measures.
The Anambra NYSC Coordinator, Mr
Ebenezer Olawale, made the disclosure on Thursday in Awka, the Anambra State
capital.
He, however, said no formal passing
out ceremony was held in the state.
Olawale noted that 2, 158 corps
members successfully concluded their service year and were issued with
discharge certificates.
On the upcoming Nov. 18 governorship
polls in Anambra, the NYSC coordinator said that the body still had enough
manpower to take care of its expected role in the election.
“There are no fewer than
8,000 corps members currently serving in the state,’’ he said.
He said the discharged corps members
who wished to take part in the election were at liberty to stay back but no one
was under compulsion to do so.
Meanwhile, the Director-General of
the NYSC Brig.-Gen. Suleiman Kazaure, will visit Anambra to address corps
members ahead of the governorship election.
Olawale told Newsmen that Kazuaure
would hold a one-day interface with the corps members on November 7 alongside
heads of other security agencies in Anambra at the Alex Ekweme Square in Awka.
