The NYSC Co-ordinator in the state, Mr. Benjamin Ayodele, who disclosed this, said the decision was due to the lingering boundary dispute between Aladja community in Udu LGA and Ogbe-Ijoh community in Warri South West LGA, which has led to killing of several persons and the destruction of property valued at several millions of naira.
Ayodele said the Board of Governing Council of the NYSC, following unhealthy security reports, had arrived at the conclusion that both communities were no longer safe for corps members.
He said, “I appeal to the host communities in the Warri South-West and Udu Local Government Areas to give peace a chance so that the younger ones in schools in the areas who can continue to enjoy the services of corps members deployed to Delta State.”
He added that 10 married female corps members, who made a passionate appeal to be reunited with their families, were considered in line with the NYSC policy for posting to some communities in Udu Local Government Area.
“We carried out our posting of corps members in line with the extant policy guiding the process to the four key areas of education, health, rural infrastructure and agriculture”, Ayodele said.
