NYSC Withdraws Corps Members From Jigawa Governrship Polls

Unless remedial steps are taken, the governorship and House of Assembly election in Jigawa State may be affected by the shortage of ad-hoc officials as some members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have abandoned their primary assignments.

Corps members serving in Hadejia Local Council had sent a Save Our Souls (SOS) message to the NYSC coordinator in the state following threats to their lives during post- election violence in the area last Monday.

Consequently, the state NYSC’s Coordinator, Mr. Baba Ahmed, has withdrawn the 350 corps members from the area due to insecurity.
