Corps Members
The DG made this known
when he appeared before
members of the Committee
on Civil Society, Labour,
Youths and Sports of the
national conference.
Olawumi, who listed the
affected states as Adamawa,
Yobe and Borno, noted that
corp members can only be
posted to the states if the
request comes from the corp
member.
"We have stopped sending
corps members to the three
troubled states in North-East
under emergency rule.
Surprisingly, some still
demand to be posted there
would get posted there. But
nobody is forced to go there"
he said.
The DG, however, stressed
that the agency would not
stop any corp member who
indicate interest in going to
any of the three troubled
states from doing so, but he
reiterated that the state of
emergency would continue
until security improves in the
affected states.
