The National Youth Service Corps NYSC has debunked media reports claiming its DG, Brig. Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim, had announced plans to mobilise corps members for war.
In a recent interview with Channels TV, Ibrahim said corps members are part of the national defence policy of Nigeria and that where they is a serious war, they can be trained for use.
Some media houses interpreteted his comment to mean that corp members were to be mobilised to fight in areas where there are crises.
In a rebuttal published on its social media page, the scheme statement that at no time did the DG say coprs members are to be mobilised for war.
