Romantic soldier: NYSC backs Army, says military won’t allow violation of traditions

The authorities of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have backed the Nigerian Army on its plan to punish the female army who accepted the proposal of a CORPS member.

Recall that ALLSCHOOL had reported that a female army accepted the proposal of a serving NYSC member.

According to the Director-General of the NYSC, Brig.-Gen. Ibrahim Shuaibu, during a press briefing in Abuja, explained that the Army was a strong institution that was founded on the basis of discipline, hence will not allow any violation of its military traditions.

In his words: “Every organisation has its own customs and traditions, and we have to abide by it. We, on our part, have spoken to our corps members.

“We encourage them to inter-marry, but we have never had a situation where a corps member will go and propose (to a soldier).

“The Army has its own tradition and they will not joke with it. So, we always tell our corps members to play by the rules.

“I can assure that the army as an institution is built on its customs and traditions, and anything that will impinge on discipline, they will not take it lightly.”
