He made the announcement in Ibadan on Thursday when he led top members of his staff on a courtesy visit to the wife of the state governor, Mrs. Florence Ajimobi Ibe said each state coordinator had been directed by the management of the corps not to post any corps member to any crisis prone area in the country, adding that the directive would take effect with the next deployment of corps members on July 7.
He noted that the security and safety of lives of corps members had been the major challenge of the scheme in recent time.
He added that the corps was taking appropriate steps to secure the lives and property of corps members posted to the state.
Ibe said the visit was to felicitate with Ajimobi on the victory of her husband in the April governorship election, and to also formally introduce the scheme to her.
Ajimobi decried the recent loss of lives of some corps members in the violence that errupted in some parts of the country, stressing that such incident would have been averted in a pro-active manner.
She urged the NYSC to ensure that the safety of corps members was guaranteed taken seriously in any part of the
country.
``Corps members have always been very helpful, and so, we must encourage and give them the opportunities to
serve,’’ she said.
In a related development, members of the National Council of Women’s Societies (NCWS), South West Zone, led
by its Zonal President, Prof. Adetowun Ogunsheye, also paid similar visit to the governor’s wife.
Ogunsheye called for the eradication of child beggars In Ssouth West, saying that parents must be compelled to
collaborate with government in eradicating the menace.
