The management of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC in Nigeria has refuted media reports on Corps members safety in the northern part of the country intended to instill fear in the hearts of Corps members, their parents and loved ones.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Director, Press and Public Relations of the Scheme, Mr. Eddy Megwa.
The originators of the news claimed that two Corps members were shot dead at the NYSC Secreteriat, Jos, among other falsehoods.
According to Megwa, “Management wishes to restate that nothing of such ever happened. The fabricators of the story are all out to cause mischief”.
He therefore advised the general public, especially Corps members to disregard the fake news as “the welfare of Corps members shall continue to be accorded top priority by the National Youth Sevice Corps”.
