Stanley’s death is a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities that corps members sometimes face during their service year, particularly those posted to remote or riverine communities.

The NYSC scheme has long been a cornerstone of national unity and youth development in Nigeria. However, the safety and welfare of corps members must always be a top priority.
