The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced the suspension of biometric clearance and weekly Community Development Services (CDS) for corps members nationwide. This decision comes in response to a planned protest scheduled to take place from August 1-10, 2024.
In a memo distributed to State Coordinators, Local Government Inspectors, and Zonal Inspectors across the country, the NYSC stated:
“In furtherance of 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 resumption 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.”
More details will be provided as the situation develops.
