The Niger State Coordinator of National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC), Mr. Steven Ehoda-adi, has said that 281 fake corps
members were sent out of the Niger State orientation camp in Paiko because they
didn’t have authentic documents. Ehoda-Adi disclosed this yesterday
at the close of the three weeks orientation exercise, at the camp as 3,259 of
the Batch B corps members, 2014, successfully, completed the exercise for their
primary assignment in the state. He told journalists that all the fake corps
members were immediately sent out of the orientation camp because they had
nothing to show that qualified them for admission into the camp. According to
him, some of them gave the excuse of being attacked by armed robbers on their
way to Minna and their call up letters taken away from them while some said
they misplaced their call up letter. He disclosed further that some of the
corps members also presented only photocopies of the call up letter pointing
out that the NYSC authority does not accept photocopy of the letter for
admission into the camp. Similarly, he stated also that 230 pregnant and
nursing mothers who are corps members were disallowed from taking part in
routine orientation exercise in the state.
