We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased and pray for the peaceful repose of her soul.
The Scheme is aware of the news circulating in the media concerning the suspected involvement of a staff member.
We wish to confirm that the matter is currently under investigation by relevant security agencies, and the individual concerned has been taken into custody.
We wish to use this medium to reiterate that the NYSC maintains a strict code of conduct for its staff and Corps Members and will not condone any act of misconduct or abuse of office.
We assure the public that we are cooperating fully with the law enforcement authorities to ensure that the truth is established and that justice is served.
While investigations are ongoing, we urge the public to refrain from speculations and allow due process to take its course.
In the meantime, Management wishes to state, once again, that the welfare, safety, and dignity of our Corps Members remain paramount to the Scheme.
