Corps members and some Nigeria citizens under the aegis of ‘Serve With Skirts’ on Wednesday, protested in Abuja over incessant harassment of Christian and Muslim corps members for wearing skirts instead of trousers.


Convener of the group, Barrister Udochi Emmanuel Baba, while leading some corps members, who are victims, explained that there was no provision in the Nigerian Constitution that made it mandatory for female corps members to wear trousers.

She noted that it was unfortunate that some corps members have been de-camped and de-kitted for choosing to wear skirts rather than trousers across the states of the federation.

She revealed that the group has opened discussion with the National Youth Service Corps headquarters, adding that if they reneged, they would resort to court option.

She said: “The NYSC Act does not clearly state uniforms that corps members should wear. It only states that corps should wear whatever is given to them as uniforms.

“The reason we are here today is, year after year, our corps members who are posted to various camps across the federation are embarrassed. They are decamped for wearing skirts. They are de-kitted and sent out of the camp for wearing skirts.

They have their very valid point and it should be respected. After all, their rights should be respected just the same way the right of that Muslim lady that insisted on wearing her scarf with her robe during her call to bar was respected. What was good for Boda Muri should also be good for Boda CAn.
