The National Youth Service Corps has extended the service year
of 24 members of the 2015 Batch ‘B’ Stream One in Niger.
The scheme’s Coordinator in Niger, Mrs. Bolade Loto, made this
known on Thursday
at the passing out ceremony of the batch in Minna.
Loto said the affected corps members had their service year
extended because of their continuous absence from their places
of primary assignments.
She said 10 corps members received State Merit Award, while
10 others received commendation letters for initiating projects
that impacted on the lives of the people.
She also disclosed that two corps members died in the course of
the service year.
She said that a total of 2,193 corps members completed the year
successfully, noting that
the passing out ceremony was low key as members were just
asked to collect their certificates at the various local
government councils.
