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.
