Speaking on the development, Kaduna, Director-General of the NYSC, Johnson Olawumi, said the aforementioned groups of individuals are henceforth exempt from service, because they would unable to undergo the four cardinal programmes of the NYSC: Mobilisation, orientation, primary assignment and winding-up passing out parade.
The report further states:
In a communique, the NYSC also resolved that henceforth, pregnant women and children would no longer be allowed into orientation camps across the country for service under the scheme established by the Gen. Yakubu Gowon administration in 1973.
