Edo: NYSC coordinator advises corps members to be neutral while on election duty

Mr Adebayo Ojo, the Coordinator, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Edo, has advised corps members in the state to display neutrality while on duty during the forthcoming general elections.

Ojo gave the advice in an interview with Newsmen after a meeting with NYSC members at the scheme’s zonal office in Oredo, Benin, on Thursday.

He said that as youths serving the nation, corps members should always show good examples to influence the society positively.

“Vices such as: drugs abuse, internet fraud, robbery and bribery should be no go areas for our corps members.

“As they will be deployed to work during the elections in various parts of the state, it is my honest advice to them that they must serve the electoral process with dignity,” he said.

Ojo urged those that would be deployed in the conduct of the elections to show obedience to the rules governing the process.

“I want the NYSC members to always be good ambassadors of the scheme, they must be seen standing up for the country that they serve.

“We have told them to wear the NYSC uniforms always and to display their NYSC identity cards for proper recognition,” Ojo said.

Supreme Magazine gather that a total of 7,000 corps members will be deployed as ad-hoc staff to all local government areas in Edo for the conduct of the general elections.
