POLLS: 34,000 EX-CORPS MEMBERS TO BE EMPLOYED BY INEC AS AD-HOC STAFF – NYSC DG

 
According to him, out of the 168,000 corps members that were trained by the Independent National Electoral Commission to participate in the coming elections, 34,000 have passed out and can no longer participate as corps members but as ad-hoc staff.
He said, “We have 168,000 (corps members) that registered for participation in the election. The 2014 Batch A that registered passed out on February 19. Our plan was to use them for the elections; but because of the postponement of the elections, we realised that we can’t use them again as that would amount to breaching NYSC rules.
“They were about 34,000. We wrote to INEC to explain that they would be passing out and that we could not hold on to them. Because they were passing out, it wouldn’t be right for them to participate as corps members. But because they have been trained, we told INEC that if they wish, they could employ them as adhoc staff but they won’t wear NYSC uniform”.
