NYSC extends service year of 12 corps members, declares 27 absconders in Osun

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Osun has extended the service year of 12 corps members from the 2025 Batch A stream II for various offences, including indiscipline.


In a statement issued on Thursday, Catherine Otemuyiwa, NYSC spokesperson in Osun, said Ekong Kubiangha, the state coordinator of the scheme, also announced that 27 corps members were declared absconders.

According to the state coordinator, the punishments were in line with the provisions of the NYSC bye-laws.

He congratulated the outgoing corps members on the successful completion of their service year and commended them for their contributions to the development of their host communities.

According to NAN, Kubiangha urged corps members to safeguard their certificates of national service and protect the integrity of the scheme.

I want to caution corps members against partisan political activities and statements capable of exposing them to danger ahead of the forthcoming elections in the state,” he said.

“I urged you to remain security conscious, law-abiding and focused on self-development and economic independence.”

The coordinator described the scheme as a platform for personal growth and national development while urging corps members to uphold the values of discipline, patriotism and integrity imbibed during service.

Kubiangha presented certificates to eligible corps members and certificates of commendation to outstanding corps liaison officers for exemplary service.
