The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has suspended the monthly biometric clearance and the weekly Community Development Services (CDS) for corps members nationwide.

This was disclosed in a memo sent to State Coordinators, Local Government Inspectors and Zonal Inspectors across the country.
It reads, “In furtherance to our earlier memo reminding corps members of the scheme’s policy prohibiting participation in any form of protest, all corps members are informed that biometric clearance and CDS activities are suspended with immediate effect. The date for the resumption of these activities will be communicated in due course.
“Due to this postponement of all NYSC activities, all corps members are directed not to wear their uniforms for any reason this week.
“During this period, all corps members are assured that they will be attended to in their mufti.
“I wish to reiterate that the scheme promotes unity and will not tolerate any corps member participating in any form of protest that could lead to breakdown of law and order.
