According to the DAILY POST, the scheme's Director-General, Brig. Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim, stated on Thursday that corps members are part of Nigeria's National Defense Policy and can be mobilized for war if necessary. The NYSC DG made the claim during a segment on Channels Television's "Sunrise Daily" in response to the National Assembly's decision to terminate the plan. The clarification was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the NYSC Deputy Director (Publications), Emeka Mgbemena on behalf of the Director (Press and Public Relations), Adenike Adeyemi. According to the statement, the NYSC DG’s comment was misconstrued, stressing that rather than what is making the rounds on social media, the DG said, “In line with the National Defence Policy, corps members are like soldiers on reserve, because of their education, exposure and sophistication, can make them easily adaptable to military training”. “He charged them to remain focused and patriotic, and for the spirit of NYSC to live in all Nigerians. “General Ibrahim never at any point said the corps members are being mobilised to fight a war. “The scheme shall continue to safeguard the interest of corps members at all times.”
