NYSC extends service year of 11 Osun corps members over misconduct
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Osun State has extended the service year of 11 corps members from the 2025 Batch ‘B’ Stream for various offences committed during their national service.
The Osun State Coordinator, Mr. Ekeng Kubiangha, disclosed this on Thursday while monitoring the low-key passing-out ceremony held across the state’s 30 local government areas and the Area Office.
Kubiangha, accompanied by members of the state management team and the National Directorate Headquarters (NDHQ) Monitoring Officer, Mr. Peter Okpanachi, inspected the exercise in Obokun, Ilesa East and Ilesa West Local Government Areas.
He said the affected corps members were sanctioned in line with the NYSC regulations for violating the scheme’s rules during their service year.
The passing-out exercise was conducted peacefully across the state, while the NYSC reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing discipline and upholding the objectives of the national service scheme.
He said that the extension of service of the eleven corps members was in line with the provisions of the NYSC Bye-Laws.
According to him, we have 18 corps members that absconded from service, while 1,702 successfully completed the mandatory one-year national service and received their Certificates of National Service.
“I urged you all to remain grateful to God and approach the next phase of your lives with determination, integrity and commitment to excellence.
“The Certificate of National Service is only a foundation upon which you must build successful and impactful careers through hard work, innovation, resilience and discipline,” he said.
The state coordinator charged the passing-out corps members to remain worthy ambassadors of the scheme by upholding the values of patriotism, selfless service, honesty and good character wherever they found themselves.
He further encouraged them to be law-abiding citizens and to continue contributing meaningfully to nation-building and community development.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that outstanding Corps Liaison Officers were presented with Certificates of Commendation in recognition of their exemplary leadership and meritorious service during the service year.
Kubiangha, therefore, expressed confidence that the discharged corps members would excel in their chosen careers and make positive contributions to society.
