The Lagos State House of
Assembly has rejected posting of batch B of the National Youth service Corps
members from the State to the northern part of the country for their service
year.
Chairman of the House
Committee on Education, Science and Technology, Wahab Alawiye-King made the declaration while receiving
corps members from the Lagos State University who staged a protest at the
Assembly complex today.
Alawiye-King said the
House at its plenary yesterday also passed a resolution urging the Director General
of the NYSC not to post Students from Lagos State to unsafe Northern state
where their security of lives and property cannot be guaranteed.
The Lawmaker noted that
the State Assembly would resist any attempt by the NYSC to post any student
from Lagos to troubled states in the North for service year.
Earlier, the
spokesperson of the students, Sessi Agnes Funmi lamented the rate of killings
and bombings in the northern part of the country describing it as unbearable.
