The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) says it has extended the service year of 33 corps members in Nasarawa State for absconding from their Place of Primary Assignment (PPA).
The coordinator of the scheme in the state, Mr. Abdullahi Jikamshi, made this known in Lafia, the state capital, during the Passing-out Parade of the 2021 Batch “A” corps members.
Jikamshi said the affected corps members would have their service year extended or repeat the entire service year in accordance with the provisions of the bye-laws of the Scheme.

The Nasarawa state commissioner for youths and sports Lucky Yargwa representing the State Governor Abdullahi Sule applauded the outgoing corps members for their invaluable service to the state.
Yargwa said the many life transforming projects carried out by them had contributed to the development of many communities.
