Unless remedial steps are taken, the governorship and House of Assembly election in Jigawa State may be affected by the shortage of ad-hoc officials as some members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have abandoned their primary assignments.
Corps members serving in Hadejia Local Council had sent a Save Our Souls (SOS) message to the NYSC coordinator in the state following threats to their lives during post- election violence in the area last Monday.
Consequently, the state NYSC's Coordinator, Mr. Baba Ahmed, has withdrawn the 350 corps members from the area due to insecurity.
