NYSC Cancels Passing-Out Ceremonial Parade For 2019 Batch ‘B’ Stream1 Corps Members

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has cancelled the passing-out ceremonial parade for the 2019 Batch “B” Stream1 corps members, which is slated to hold on May 28th 2020.

It said the development is due to the threat posed by the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

The scheme in a statement issued in Abuja, on Monday, by the Director of Public Relations, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, said in line with the COVID-19 protocol of social/physical distancing, Certificate of National Service (CNS) will be issued to qualified Corps Members at the Local Government level.

“Accordingly, a full complement of NYSC Officers have been mobilised for the distribution; and shall do so from ten service points in each of the Local Government Councils,” the statement partly read.

Also, it explained that certificate issuance will be delayed for ten days to allow for a seamless and cumbersome distribution process.

“As a precautionary measure, the distribution shall be staggered for a period of ten days in the first instance, in order to remove anxiety from the concerned corps members, in addition to making the activity seamless and less cumbersome,” it added.
