The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has extended the service year of 11 corps members in Katsina State for breaking camp rules. The NYSC State Coordinator, Ibrahim Sa’idu, made this known on Thursday during the passing-out parade of the 2024 Batch “A” Stream II corps members. Sa’idu, who was represented by Assistant Director of Human Resource Management Allen Charles Chisome, stated that the extension was by the NYSC by-laws.
Among the corps members, there were three females and eight males.
Meanwhile, 859 corps members completed their service without any disciplinary issues. Sa’idu praised them and urged them to be good ambassadors of the scheme.
He encouraged corps members to utilise the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) training they received to achieve self-sufficiency.
He also expressed gratitude to the Katsina State government for its hospitality and security support for corps members.
During the low-key ceremony, three corps members—Adanu Theresa Onyeche (KT/24A/1937), Sunday Bose Aladi (KT/24A/2125), and Abdul Fatai Usman Isyaka (KT/24A/2860)—were recognised as outstanding and received state awards.
A minute of silence was observed in honour of a corps member who passed away during the service year.
