Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Brigadier-General Johnson Olawumi, weekend, Abuja, appealed to corporate bodies not to reject corps members posted to them for the one year mandatory service.
NYSC DG said instead of rejecting those posted to their companies, they should create avenue for the corps members to add value to their organizations, while developing their professional skills.

Olawumi, who spoke at the swearing-in ceremony of stream two of the NYSC Batch ‘B’ 2015, at the Kubwa Orientation Camp in Abuja, noted that each corps member would be equipped with entrepreneurship skill for self reliance during their stay in camp.

“For the private sector, we can only continue to appeal to them that they should take advantage of the potentials in these young men and women, their companies are going to be better for it,” he said.

The DG noted that the federal government had issued a circular for its Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, not to reject any corps member posted to their places, but taking the advantage of their potentials to add value to service delivery.

“I am not aware of any MDA that rejects any corps member, and if we get any we shall make appropriate reportage to the necessary authority, but there is a circular to the effect that no MDA should reject any corps members,” he clarified.

In his remarks, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Malam Muhammad Bello, represented by a director , Ahmed Musa, called on the 2,609 corps members currently in camp to pay serious attention to various vocational trainings to be given to them by experts.

Ogun state is even worst as corp members are rejected in mass... In the state capital, govt agencies, private organisation only accept corp member on the ground that "no accomodatiom and no allowance..."

Corp members are no longer given their due respect anymore

I've always known this was a wasted one year. So when I was rejected by the ministry in abeokuta, ogun state ( mind u, I'm stream 2, 15). I took myself off the ground, dust myself, went in the hunt for a school which I finally found. Gave me a shabby accommodation and 5k as well as a month leave. So can't really complain, the primary goal was to be close to Lagos and nysc have given me the opportunity.

nawaooooi

the Ogun state wey I wan put/serve next year
