Six corps members to repeat service year

Six corps members in Sokoto State have been mandated to repeat their service for absconding from their places of primary assignment.

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) who handed the orders to the corps members said they left their place of primary assignment for three months.

NYSC State Director, Mr Philip Enaberue, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Sokoto on Thursday, said the six offenders were part of the 1,724 Batch B Stream 1 corps members.

Enaberue who did not give the names of the corpers, said that in addition to the six, who are to repeat their services, three others had their services extended by one week to four months for different infractions.

“Extension occurs when a corps member did not attend his place of primary assignment regularly or has not been signing monthly clearance,” he said.
