‘Don’t hold elaborate parade for outgoing corps members’

THE National Directorate of the Na tional Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has directed its 36 state offices not to  hold elaborate passing out parade for the Batch C corps members who will be discharged from service next Tuesday.
This directive, according to the Osun State coordinator of the scheme, Mr Henry Enyenhi, is as a result of the security situation in the country.
Speaking at a one-day free empowerment seminar organised for a few Batch C corps members in Ife zone by Ife Business School at Ife City Hall on Monday, Mr Enyenihi said that the NYSC directorate had also outlawed night parties for the outgoing corps members as a result of the security situation.
He said : You are all aware of the security situation in the country. Next week passing out ceremony will be low key. There will be no ceremonial passing out parade usually held in the state capital. All outgoing corps members will be issued their certificates at their zonal offices and this will be done after the presentation of their identity cards.
“As a result of the security situation, corps members are not allowed to hold night parties for their send-off ceremony. Only cocktail parties are allowed and this can only be done during daytime before 6.00p.m.
Mr Enyenihi, who was represented by Mr Abiodun Olaifa, Assistant Director of Corps Welfare and Inspection, however, commended the corps members who  served the nation meritoriously adding that those posted to schools to teach would be remembered by their students for doing a good job.
