Temitope Ajayi, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, has issued a statement to clarify his previous comment on a corps member’s criticism of President Bola Tinubu. In a statement, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity said his comment was misrepresented and taken out of context. He emphasized that he only suggested the corps member should face NYSC disciplinary measures for violating the scheme’s by-laws and protocol. Ajayi stated that the maximum punishment under the NYSC protocol is expulsion, and he did not imply or suggest any punishment beyond the established norms and laws. He noted that the NYSC scheme is a national programme that symbolizes Nigeria’s triumph over division and its effort to forge a more united nation. Ajayi emphasized the importance of upholding the values of dignity, discipline, and respect for one another as citizens. Temitope Ajayi clarified that his intention was not to advocate for excessive punishment but to stress the importance of discipline and respect within the NYSC scheme. Ajayi reiterated that the NYSC scheme should not be ridiculed by indiscipline, and corps members should adhere to the programme’s by-laws and protocol.
