The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has extended the service period of 30 corps members in Ebonyi state for violating regulations governing the scheme, just as five others received state awards for outstanding performance during the service year.
The NYSC Coordinator in the state, Mrs Gladys Mbachi, made the disclosure in an interview with newsmen in Abakaliki during the passing-out parade ceremony of the corps members.
“The corps members who travelled without permission for instance would have their service period extended,” she said.
