Akhanameh said: “45 corps members will repeat their service year due to physical absence from their places of primary assignments.”
The Lagos state coordinator explained that “Many of the corps members left their places of primary assignments for over three months without permission, adding that when queried, they could not give any genuine reason for being absent.”
“The level of their punishments, he noted, will be determined by the level of their offences, stating that many of them will repeat, serve for three or four months in any part of the states that NYSC Authorities will choose.”
