NYSC Coordinator Warns Corps Members Against Absenteeism

 

Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, the Lagos State Coordinator, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), on Friday warned corps members against absconding from places of primary assignment.
Adeyemi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that any corps member who absconded would repeat the service year.
We discover that corps members have various reasons for absconding during their service year, but for whatever reason, NYSC will not condone it.
Whenever we have cases of absence, we get in touch with their next of kin to find out the reason.
It is very compulsory for corps members to serve their fatherland for one year,`` she said.
Adeyemi urged employers of labour to provide creche service to nursing corps members serving in their organisations.
She said the provision of crèche would enable them to put in their best.
She advised the corps members to employ the services of nannies or maids where there was no creche, adding that ``any corps member who carries her baby to work is not ready to serve''.
If there is no crèche in your office, employ someone to take care of your baby while you are at work.
When nursing corps members take their baby to work, they will have divided attention.
We are appealing to employers of labour to provide crèche as being advocated by the government,`` she said.
On accommodation, Adeyemi said some employers had been providing accommodation to corps members, especially in the rural areas.
She said that corps members needed accommodation close to their places of primary assignment, noting that such would enhance their performance
