2019 election nysc calls for adequate security for corps members
I think you meant to say "2019 elections in Nigeria: NYSC calls for adequate security for corps members".
Yes, that's correct. In 2019, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Nigeria called for adequate security measures to be put in place to ensure the safety of corps members during the general elections.
The NYSC made this call in a statement issued by its Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, ahead of the elections. The statement emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety and security of corps members, who were deployed to various parts of the country to assist with the electoral process.
The NYSC expressed concern over the potential risks and challenges that corps members might face during the elections, including violence, intimidation, and harassment. The organization urged the security agencies to provide adequate protection for the corps members, who were seen as critical stakeholders in the electoral process.
The NYSC also appealed to the general public to respect the rights and dignity of corps members, who were only carrying out their duties as assigned by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The organization emphasized that corps members were not political actors and should not be targeted or harassed for their political beliefs or affiliations.
Overall, the NYSC's call for adequate security measures was seen as a necessary step to ensure the safety and security of corps members during the 2019 elections in Nigeria.
