MRS Theresa Arokoyo, Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Niger, has called on stakeholders to provide adequate security for corps members in upcoming elections. Arokoyo called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Department of the State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force to prioritise the security of corps members during and after the elections. She added that the corps members have been educated on being non-partisan and to maintain the highest level of diligence during the exercise. He, however, advised the corps members to be security conscious and avoid unnecessary movements away from their statutory locations. He added that corps members participating in the elections, as well as electoral officers, would be properly protected at their various polling units as well as their lodges.
