Eight Corps members deployed to Kaduna State under the
Batch B 2015 of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)
are to repeat their service year in the state.

The NYSC Coordinator in the state, Mohammed Momoh,
made the disclosure in Kaduna on Thursday at the passing
out of the 2, 837 members of the batch.

Mr. Momoh said the eight corps members absconded
immediately after their orientation last year.

He said 15 other corps members had their service years
extended for violating rules and regulations of the corps.

“This is a punitive measure taken against the erring corps
members for violating the rules and regulations of the
corps,” he said.
The coordinator said seven corps members died during the
service year.

Mr. Momoh said that three corps members won the state’s
merit award, seven others got the chairman’s awards, while
10 won the state coordinators’ commendation award.

He commended the state government, and the people of the
state for the sustained moral and financial support to the
corps.
