The National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) has sanctioned twenty seven corps members in Ondo state for contravening the rules guiding the scheme during their service year.

The NYSC Coordinator in the state, Victoria Ani stated this during the passing out ceremony for the 2021 batch ‘A’ (Stream two) corps members held in Akure, the state capital.

Ani, who was represented by the Assistant Director of the scheme, Adejoke Fashola, explained that out of the number, 13 corps members would have their service year extended for various misdemeanors while 14 others would have their service year repeated for absconding from service.

The Coordinator however pointed out that a Corps member, Victor Onwuemene would be rewarded with state honour and two others would receive state Coordinator’s commendation certificate.

Ani called on the Corps members to be good ambassadors and eschew acts of arrogance and rude if they wanted to achieve in life.

In a remark, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu urged the corps members to always render assistance to security agencies for a safer society.

Akeredolu, who spoke through the Commissioner for Sports and Youths Development, Bamidele Ologun, therefore, gave the assurance that the State Government would always provide security to corps members who chose to stay behind.
