LG Crisis: NYSC Relocates Monthly Clearance Centres
AS a result of the ongoing crisis in the Osun State local government areas over control tussles, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has relocated the monthly clearance centres for corps members.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that since February 17, 2025, there have been crises in local government following the Court of Appeal’s Judgement which the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) claimed it reinstated its sacked council chairmen by the Governor Ademola Adeleke PDP-led government.
The crisis, which has lingered for weeks, resulted in the killings of both APC and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftains over control of 30 councils in the state.
Local government activities, including NYSC affairs, have suffered as a result.

The office of the Local Government Inspector (LGI) of the scheme, among others, is located in the councils.
The Nation reports that NYSC staff and members have avoided the council, affecting the weekly Community Development Service (CDS) and other activities.
Findings by OSUN DEFENDER revealed that the monthly clearance exercise for corps members, which commenced on Monday, has been relocated to the premises of public schools in the state.
For Osogbo, clearance is being held at Osogbo Grammar School, while Olorunda LGA has relocated its exercise to Fakunle Unity Schools, adjacent stadium.
It was also gathered that Iwo and Ola-Oluwa councils have moved corps members to public schools.
