The
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has barred pregnant women, nursing mothers
and students engaged in postgraduate studies from enlisting in the national
service across the country, until they are free to participate effectively.
Rising
from a two-day pre-mobilisation workshop for the 2015 Batch “B” NYSC programme,
held in Kaduna, Director-General of the NYSC, Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi, stated
that the exemption of pregnant women and nursing mothers,
as well as
post-graduate students from national service was because they would not be able
to undergo the four cardinal programmes of the NYSC.
The four
cardinal programmes include mobilisation, orientation, primary assignment and
winding-up passing out parade.
