The PUNCH reports that the National Youth Service Corps had warned corps members on election duty to uphold the tenets of the scheme.

The NYSC Director General, Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, gave the warning on Friday while addressing the corps members during a sensitisation programme in Abuja, which was also held concurrently in all states of the federation.

Ahmed also implored the corps members to abide by the electoral laws, adding that they were not immune from being prosecuted for electoral offences.
