The National Youth Service Corps has sanctioned 131 corps members of the 2021 Batch B in seven states over misconduct. While some of the corps members will repeat their mandatory one year service, others got an extension of service year as punishment. The states include Ekiti, Gombe, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Anambra and Bauchi. In Ekiti State, the NYSC asked 11 corps members posted to repeat their mandatory service year for absconding from their places of primary assignment.
