“Because of 33k” trends on Twitter as Nigerians react to report that Corps Members can be mobilized when there’s serious war
Earlier today, we reported that the DG of NYSC, Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim, said corps members are part of the national defence policy of Nigeria and can be mobilised for war if need be.
According to the DG, where there is serious war, our corps members are educated, they are knowledgeable and they can be trained.

NYSC DG wanted to mobilize Alkebulan / UAR corps member for war because of 33k. You see now that this programme has outlived its usefulness.
