The Minister of Youth, Jamila Ibrahim, disclosed this in an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics monitored by DAILY POST.
“As an immediate intervention of the government and the NYSC as an agency, we have stopped posting corps members to unsafe states.
“We have been doing it. We have been doing it in the past. There are states we have not been posting corps members to to ensure their safety,” she added.
According to her, the security of corps members requires collaboration with other government agencies.
She said the Federal Government is working on reforming the NYSC scheme to reflect the present realities of the nation, particularly in the area of their allowance.
