About 34,000 members of the National Youth Service Corps who
recently passed out would be deployed to participate in the forthcoming general
elections scheduled for March 28 and April 11, the Director-General of the
NYSC, Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi, has said.
He also stated that the NYSC had put in place a watertight
strategy to guarantee the safety of corps members taking part in the elections.
Olawumi spoke on Friday in Abuja during a news conference
ahead of President’s NYSC Honours Award ceremony scheduled for Monday, March 2
which has been approved by President Goodluck Jonathan.
