21 Corps members to repeat service year in Kano State over indiscipline

21 Corps members from Batch ‘B’ Streams I and II serving in Kano State will repeat their service year due to various acts of indiscipline.  

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Coordinator in the state, Alhaji Ladan Baba, in an interview with NAN yesterday said “Eight out of the 21 corps members are from the Stream one, 13 of them are from the Stream 2 while 10 corps members would repeat few weeks or months".

He continued to say, "on a sad note, we lost a male and a female corps members, Shuaibu Yahuza from Bauchi State and Happiness Emmanuel from Enugu State, both of the Stream 1”.  

He explained that the affected corps members were punished for either absconding from their places of primary assignment or they were absent for more than three months without permission or any concrete reason.  Ladan said that 2,574 corps members passed out from batch ‘B’ Stream 1, describing them as one of the best set they had in recent time.
