Unethical Practices: NYSC Management Probes, Blocks 1,000 Corps Members’ Account

The National Youth Service Corps Director-General, Brig. General Shuaibu Ibrahim, say the accounts of about 1,000 corps members nationwide who had tried to compromise its staff on posting and redeployment has blocked.

He said the NYSC was still investigating the incidents and anybody involved would be disciplined accordingly.

Ibrahim stated these in an interview with journalists at the Public Service Institute of Nigeria in Abuja after declaring open the 2020 inspectors development programme, with the theme: “Optimising the ideals of the scheme through effective utilisation of the NYSC inspector.”

The corps members whose accounts were suspended belongs to the 2021 Batch A, Streams 1 and 2, who sought redeployment from the original states they were posted to.

While some of the affected corps members were said to have sought redeployment from some states, especially in the North because of insecurity, a few others, however, sought redeployment on health grounds, among others.

Besides cancelling the redeployment, the NYSC was said to have also suspended their accounts and stopped their monthly allowance.
