The National Youth Service Corps officials have disclosed that 71 out of 222 corps members were not included in the list for the NYSC President’s Award.
Brigadier General Johnson Olawumi said on Monday, September 28, that the majority of the members had been automatically disqualified and disclosed why.
According to Vanguard, Olawumi was quoted as saying as he spoke at the opening of the 2015 President’s NYSC Honours Award National Selection Committee:
“To win a President’s NYSC Honours Award, corps members must distinguish him or herself in the four cardinal areas of NYSC operation namely; orientation programme, primary assignment, community development service (CDS) and the winding up programme.
“For the selection process to be transparent, there are criteria but there also people that can be disqualified, even if they have made tangible contribution.
“These are people who sought for concessional deployment to state of their choice, these are people who sought for relocation to change from one place to the other, these are people who served in their own state of origin, these are people who used their personal money or sought money from their family members to carry out project, and people who have disciplinary case, even if they do well, they will not be considered, because they have falling short of the selection criteria.”
The speaker noted, however:
“Women policy gives concession to married women, and NYSC will not be an exception.”
Shedding the light on the number of corps members who could receive the award, the NYSC boss ordered the committee to exercise full transparency and responsibility in carrying out their assignment.
