The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), on Thursday, said that four corps members who absconded from their duty posts would repeat the service year.
The State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs Chinwe Nwachuku, said this in Gombe, during the Passing-Out Parade of 2023 Batch “C” Stream I corps members.
Nwachuku said that the service year of three others would be extended.
She said that no fewer than 1, 210 corps members comprising 662 males and 548 females passed out in Gombe State.
The coordinator said that the disciplinary measures for the various offences committed by the concerned corps members were issued after facing the Corps Disciplinary Committee.
Congratulating the outgoing corps members, she urged them to leverage the skills acquired during the service year to become self-reliant.
“As you prepare to move on to the next level of your life, I encourage you to take with you the training, skills, education, and knowledge you have acquired.
“The capacities built during the service year should be applied to your future endeavours, whether you decide to further your education, pursue a career, or start your own business.
“ I am confident that you will make a distinctive difference in your respective fields.
“You have equally learnt valuable lessons about the culture, custom and tradition of the people of Gombe state, which I hope will bring about the desired rebirth, national integration and unity Nigeria craves for,” she said.
