NDC candidate promises bill stopping NYSC postings to insecure areas

Efosa Omo-Osagie, the Nigerian Democratic Congress candidate for Oredo Federal Constituency in the upcoming House of Representatives election, has pledged to introduce a bill that would restrict National Youth Service Corps members from being deployed to regions plagued by terrorism and banditry. During a series of consultation meetings, the candidate unveiled his 15-point legislative platform in Edo State and Abuja.

Among the proposed measures, Omo-Osagie emphasized his intention to draft legislation that would penalize officials who disregard security advisories and send corps members to insecure areas. The candidate's agenda, organized into six thematic areas, also includes infrastructure development, cost-cutting in governance, economic empowerment, anti-corruption efforts, and improvements in healthcare and education.
