NYSC Denies Extending Corper’s Service Over Tinubu Criticism

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has denied extending the service year of Lagos corper Rita Uguamaye, known as Raye, over her viral video criticising President Tinubu and Nigeria’s economic hardship.

NYSC said any service extension decision would be based on official guidelines at the time of passing out. Activist Omoyele Sowore had claimed her service was extended punitively and threatened to protest. NYSC dismissed the claims, saying Uguamaye is still serving and no such extension had been confirmed.
