Pregnant women, nursing mothers and Post graduate students
have been barred from participating in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)
programme.
According to THIS
DAY, NYSC DG, Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi, said the exemption of people in these
categories from service was because they would not be able to undergo the four
cardinal programmes of the NYSC, which is mobilisation, orientation, primary
assignment and winding-up passing out parade.
Olawumi said it didn’t make sense that pregnant women and
nursing mothers would be absent from these stages of the national service, only
to resurface for posting to their various places of primary assignments
