The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has unveiled a biometric database monitor system to ascertain the locations of every corps member during their compulsory monthly clearance.

At the end of the clearance, the database will be loaded to the ‘cloud’ to the finance department and other departments in the NYSC secretariat so as to ascertain the number of corps members cleared from each local government in the country for payment of monthly allowance.

Director General of NYSC, Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi, stated this yesterday in Abuja while showcasing a biometric database monitor which are expected to monitor corps members nationwide.

He also disclosed that about six officials of the NYSC are currently being questioned for allegedly conniving with serving corps members to abscond from duty.

According to Olawunmi, those found guilty might eventually be sacked.
The biometric database monitor would henceforth be used to conduct monthly clearance of corps members starting from 2014 Batch ‘C’.

Olawunmi explained that the biometric clearance would kick off in Lagos State and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) this month, and would be extended to other states of the federation.
