The National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) has given conditions, which must be satisfied by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before serving corps members could be released for elections.

The conditions include provision of bullet-proof vests, armed escorts and payment of attractive allowances for corps members who are to participate in the polls starting from the Adamawa State governorship bye-election next month.

Though reports said that the board of NYSC made the participation of corpers in the election voluntary, they however insisted that the security of those that are to conduct the election should not be handled with kid-gloves.
