Twenty six members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Kano state have been asked to repeat their service year for absconding from their places of primary assignment.
The NYSC Coordinator in the state, Alhaji Ladan Baba, who disclosed this, Friday in Kano, warned that any corps member found guilty of absconding from his or her place of primary assignment for at least three months would repeat the service year.
He said the NYSC had extended the service year of the affected corps members from between one and four months, noting that out of 1,942 corps members, 1,220 males and 719 females, successfully passed out.
Baba disclosed that two of the corps members bagged state award; two were given letters of commendation for their excellent performance during their primary assignment, and Community Development Services (CDS).
He said corps members in the 2019 Batch ‘C’ stream made valid contributions to their host communities, especially in the areas of Education, Health and Agriculture.
The NYSC boss called on them not to rely on government job, but to utilise skills acquired during their stay in camp to be self employed.
