The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has cried out over continuous increase in the online advertisement claiming to specialise in deployment and redeployment of corps members to the state of their

choice.

In a statement signed by its coordinator, South-west area office, Mr Emmanuel Attah, the NYSC stated that such activities being currently circulated online in a soft copy flier with the title “Henroozy Koncept” is fraudulent and criminal. Attah stated that the NYSC had never authourised any group, organisation or individual to perform such function or any other function related to the NYSC mobilisation. He said the issue of deployment and redeployment were done exclusively by the NYSC, based on statutory provision and in compliance with federal character, unity and peaceful coexistence of Nigeria.
