NYSC Sanctions 32 Corps Members, 29 Others Abscond in Osun State

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has sanctioned 32 corps members of the 2024 Batch C Stream I serving in Osun State with service extensions, while 29 others were declared absconded.

Meanwhile, 1,485 corps members were awarded their Certificates of National Service during a passing-out ceremony held across the local government areas of the state on Tuesday.

The NYSC in Osun State stated that the sanctions were in accordance with NYSC Bye Laws, and the certificate presentation marked the successful completion of the one-year mandatory national service.

At the Olorunda local government secretariat, the Osun NYSC State Coordinator, Agbor Ndoma Obim, commended the corps members for their discipline, resilience, and commitment throughout the service year. Represented by the Assistant Director of Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED), Aleshinloye Lukman, Obim advised the corps members to avoid night travels and always keep their families informed of their movements for safety.

“I encourage you to make the most of post-service opportunities. Remain purposeful, proactive, and forward-thinking in your pursuits,” he counselled.

At Osogbo local government, the Assistant Director of Human Resources Management, Caroline Adenle, congratulated the outgoing corps members on completing their service year. She urged them to uphold the ideals of the NYSC—patriotism, integrity, and selfless service to humanity—as they transition into the next phase of life.

“Remain patriotic, disciplined, and productive citizens as you move beyond service,” Adenle advised, emphasizing the importance of personal safety, civic responsibility, and continued contribution to national development.
