Six National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) members in Sokoto State are to repeat the service year for various offences, the NYSC Coordinator in the state, Mr Thomas Yamma, has said.

Yamma said on Thursday in Sokoto at the passing out ceremony of the NYSC batch ” A” corps members deployed to the state, that the action was taken to serve as deterrent to serving corps members.

He said four other corps members have had their service year extended by two months.

“This is a punitive measure taken against the erring corps members for violating the rules and regulations of the corps.

“Three other corps members were bestowed with the state’s prestigious merit award, four others got the chairman’s awards, while several others got commendation letters.”

The coordinator commended the state government, Sokoto Sultanate Council, and people of the state in general for their sustained moral and financial support to the corps.

In his remark, Chairman of the State NYSC Governing Board, Alhaji Muhammad Abubakar, assured that the government would continue to give priority to the welfare and security of all corps members deployed to the state.

A total 2041 corps members passed out at the event.
