The management of the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) has clarified the misrepresentation of the NYSC Director- General’s recent interview with the media currently trending on the social media.
The Director-General had stated that in line with the National Defence Policy, Corps Members are like soldiers on reserve, because their education, exposure and sophistication, can make them easily adaptable to military training.
He charged them to remain focused and patriotic; and for the spirit of NYSC to live in all Nigerians.
A statement by Emeka Mgbemena,Deputy Director (Publications) Thursday night and made available to SINL Nigeria Online said General Ibrahim never at any point said that Corps Members are being mobilised to fight war.
The statement added that the Scheme shall continue to safeguard the interest of Corps Members at all times.
