The state NYSC Coordinator, Mrs Zainab Isah, confirmed the action in an interview in Lafia on Friday. She said the sanction was to serve as a deterrent to others. “We have four corps members who absconded from service. Then 11 of them have various disciplinary cases. “I am really disappointed that even with the noble effort of government through this scheme, some people are not taking advantage of what NYSC is offering,” she said.
