Read Mr Temitope Ajayi’s Statement ;
STATEMENT ON MY TWISTED COMMENT ON THE CORPS MEMBER
It has become imperative to dispel the misrepresentation and patent mischief that has trailed my comment on a Facebook post.
I suggested that flagrant and open abuse and disregard of NYSC by-laws and established protocol should attract the full NYSC disciplinary measures, particularly regarding a corps member’s recent display of imprudence.
It is trite to say the maximum punishment under the NYSC protocol is expulsion; nothing beyond the established norms and laws is suggested or remotely implied.
The NYSC scheme is a historic and treasured national programme that should not be sullied and ridiculed by indiscipline. It symbolises our triumph over division and consistent effort to forge a more potent and virile union.
Most importantly, we should abide by our old cherished values of dignity, discipline, and respect for one another as citizens.
