* Cancels Passing-Out Ceremonial Parade For 2019 Batch ‘B’
Stream1 Corps Members
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has cancelled the
passing-out ceremonial parade for the 2019 Batch “B” Stream1 corps
members, which is slated to hold on May 28th 2020.
It said the development is due to the threat posed by the deadly
coronavirus pandemic.
The scheme in a statement issued in Abuja, on Monday, by the
Director of Public Relations, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, said in line
with the COVID-19 protocol of social/physical distancing,
Certificate of National Service (CNS) will be issued to qualified
Corps Members at the Local Government level.
“Accordingly, a full complement of NYSC Officers have been
mobilised for the distribution; and shall do so from ten service
points in each of the Local Government Councils,” the statement
partly read.
Also, it explained that certificate issuance will be delayed for
ten days to allow for a seamless and cumbersome distribution
process.
“As a precautionary measure, the distribution shall be staggered
for a period of ten days in the first instance, in order to remove
anxiety from the concerned corps members, in addition to making the
activity seamless and less cumbersome,” it added.
While congratulating corps members for the successful completion
of the service, which it described as “a major milestone”, the
scheme urged them to ensure;” the strictest observance of
discipline; anchored on orderliness, adherence to instructions,
added to the rules of social/physical distancing, use of facemask,
hand sanitiser and proper washing of the hands with liquid soap for
at least twenty seconds during the activity.”
It further warned corps Members who are currently not in their
states of service against violating the ban on inter-state journeys
but noted that they could proceed to their respective States of
service to collect their CNS as soon as the ban is lifted and it is
safe to travel.
“Kindly note that unclaimed certificates shall be returned to
the NYSC National Directorate Headquarters, Abuja two weeks after
the lifting of the inter-state travel ban
“Please, always stay in touch with our social media platforms,
as well as the mainstream media for further information,” it
stressed.
