NYSC debunks plan to deploy corpers for military operations

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) clarifies that there are no intentions to send corpers to the Niger Republic for any military involvement.

This comes amidst the viral claims that NYSC members may be deployed to fight alongside the military amidst the coup in the Niger Republic.

In response to a circulating video on social media on such deployment, NYSC’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, released a statement on Saturday in Abuja to debunk the rumours.

The statement reads, “Management wishes to state that there is no iota of truth in the story fabricated by the purveyor, a skit and content creator.

“The public, especially youth corps members, prospective members and their parents should disregard the story, which borders on criminality in its entirety.

“Content and skit makers are strongly advised to desist from spreading false information capable of subverting the peace of the nation.”
