AnambraDecides: Corps members have made history, NYSC boss says
The director-general of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier-General Shuaibu Ibrahim, has commended corps members for their dedication and patriotism during Saturday’s Anambra governorship election.
Mr Ibrahim gave the commendation on Saturday in Anambra, while monitoring the election in nine local government areas of the state.
“The corps members have written their names in the annals of history, having contributed towards the entrenchment of a credible electoral process.
“I urge them to remain impartial and perform their duties in line with the established rules.
“In all the polling units I visited, there were security agents on the ground, and the corps members informed me that the conduct of the exercise was peaceful,” he said.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), about 5,000 corps members were deployed by the scheme to serve as polling officers during the conduct of the election in the state.
The NYSC DG visited polling units across the 21 local government areas of the state to monitor and ensure the security of corps members.
