Protest: NYSC halts clearance, bans corps members from wearing uniforms
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has suspended August biometric clearance and the weekly Community Development Services for all the 2024 corps members over the planned protest billed to hold between August 1-10, 2024.
This was disclosed in a memo sent to State Coordinators, Local Government Inspectors and Zonal Inspectors across the country.
It read, “In furtherance to our earlier memo reminding corps members of the scheme’s policy prohibiting participation in any form of protest, all corps members are informed that biometric clearance and CDS activities are suspended with immediate effect. The date for the presumption of these activities will be communicated in due course.
“Due to this postponement of all NYSC activities, all corps members are directed not to wear their uniforms for any reason this week.”
