The Niger State Coordinator of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC),
Mr. Steven Ehoda-adi, has said that 281 fake corps members were sent
out of the Niger State orientation camp in Paiko because they didn’t
have authentic documents.
Ehoda-Adi
disclosed this yesterday at the close of the three weeks orientation
exercise, at the camp as 3,259 of the Batch B corps members, 2014,
successfully, completed the exercise for their primary assignment in the
state.
He told
journalists that all the fake corps members were immediately sent out of
the orientation camp because they had nothing to show that qualified
them for admission into the camp.
According to him, some of them gave the excuse of being attacked by armed robbers on their way to Minna and their call up letters taken away from them while some said they misplaced their call up letter.
He
disclosed further that some of the corps members also presented only
photocopies of the call up letter pointing out that the NYSC authority
does not accept photocopy of the letter for admission into the camp.
Similarly,
he stated also that 230 pregnant and nursing mothers who are corps
members were disallowed from taking part in routine orientation exercise
in the state.
