NYSC: Corps Members Not Allowed To Participate In Aug 1 Protest

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has warned corps members against participating in the planned nationwide protest.

 

A nationwide anti-inflation protest in Nigeria planned for August 1 has been the subject of media discourse over the last week.

 

The protest, which is themed “End Bad Governance in Nigeria,” is planned for Thursday August 1 to 10.

 

It has evoked memories of the anti-police brutality protests of 2020 which led to fatalities, arson, and the torching of mass transit buses.

 

In a statement on Saturday, Yetunde Baderinwa, NYSC Lagos coordinator, said corps members must aim to promote national unity.

 

The statement said NYSC has a policy that prohibits corps members from engaging in protests.

 

NYSC said, “Adherence to this policy is mandatory”.

 

It added that corps members found violating this policy “will face serious disciplinary actions” per NYSC regulations.

 

“In line with the objectives of the NYSC to promote national unity, it is imperative to remind all corps members to adhere strictly to the principles of fostering harmony and cohesion within our country,” the statement reads.

 

“It is against NYSC policy for any corps member to participate in any form of protests, whether physically or online.

 

“Engaging in such activities goes against the very essence of our mission to propagate national unity.”
