April 29, 2023The management of the National Youth Service Corps has denied forcing Muslim corps members to shave their long beards to avoid being evicted from 2023 Batch 'A' Stream Two Orientation Camp.
The statement reads: “To put the records straight, the NYSC from inception till date has its code of conduct which Corps Members always comply with throughout their service year. “Similarly, since the commencement of the on-going 2023 Batch 'A' Stream Two Orientation Course, no Corps Member, either Muslim or Christian has been evicted from any of the NYSC Orientation Camps across the country.
“We also want to place on record the effective collaboration recorded with the above body over the years. MURIC is indeed part of the NYSC success story till date.
