Jidda noted that corps members whose punishment is extension would be remobilised based on the offences they committed, noting that they were sanctioned using laid down byelaws.
He said, “Due to the exigencies of the times, management has approved the Passing-out ceremony to be low-key and observed at the Local Government level. The Certificate of National Service will be issued to deserving Corps Members and of course, those who have fallen short of the Byelaws will be sanctioned accordingly.
“A total number of 354 Corps Members are expected to have exited from the Service today but, three absconded cases and will be remobilised for a repeat of service, and six will have extension of service in varying degrees according to their offence.
“On a very sad note, we recorded one death in the course of the service year, The fallen hero died in active service. We pray to God to grant her soul eternal rest. So, a balance of 344 Corps Members will be issued their CNN accordingly.”
