“Social vices like hard drugs, hooliganism, truancy, among others, are not allowed throughout the service year. Anyone that violates the NYSC bylaws would be sanctioned,” he added.

She added that all the registered 1,683 Corps Members, comprising 776 females and 907 males, have adjusted and acclimatized to the regimented camp life.

“Our Corps members are highly disciplined, enthusiastic, and have been actively participating in all the camp activities,” the Coordinator said.”
