NYSC Suspends August Biometric Clearance, CDS Over Planned Protest

The biometric clearance and the weekly Community Development Services for Corps Members has been suspended by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

The corps noted that this was necessary in view of the planned protest billed to take place between August 1-10, 2024.

This was disclosed in a memo sent to State Coordinators, Local Government Inspectors and Zonal Inspectors across the country.

The date for the presumption 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.”
