Adeyemi, however, said that the unpleasant occurrences experienced by corps members on the eve of February 16 were against the Memorandum of Understanding signed by both organisations. “While these incidents have been adduced to the logistic challenges which INEC experienced, the NYSC wishes to note that the unpleasant occurrences are totally at variance with the spirit of our MoU with INEC. “We therefore expect improved safety and welfare provisions by INEC in the rescheduled elections,” the statement read in part. She reassured the corps members and the public that the safety, welfare and remuneration for corps members would be provided by INEC as earlier agreed by both organisations. She also assured parents, individuals, groups and other stakeholders that the scheme’s commitment to the welfare of corps members remained unwavering.
