NYSC DG, Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi, said the exemption of people in these categories from service was because they would not be able to undergo the four cardinal programmes of the NYSC, which is mobilisation, orientation, primary assignment and winding-up passing out parade.
Olawumi said it didn't make sense that pregnant women and nursing mothers would be absent from these stages of the national service, only to resurface for posting to their various places of primary assignments. The NYSC also said that pregnant women and children would no longer be allowed into orientation camps across the country.

Well done... .NOTED
I think that's the right decision especially for pregnant women nd nursing moms....
Very good! So everyone should be treated equally! The preferential treatment in camp was quite annoying.
Good idea.
Na today? But truly, a pregnant woman/new mom shouldn't be allowed in the camp because of the rigorous training and activities taking place there. It's not safe for them.
❤❤❤ THE PROPHETESS ❤ ❤ ❤
Niceeeee
Good development. They don't partake in anything yet they collect allowee.plz stay home don't bother serving

Everything is wrong with NIgeria. In this age and time, how can women be discriminated against in such manner. Mr o la wunmi no be woman born you? God punish you for denying women their rights.
I am living in the diaspora and I have come to the conclusion that women have no place nor dignity in NIGERIA. They treat us like shit. Unfortunately there is no active women's movement. Most of the women's organizations have been appropriated by money seeking idiots. It's time for women to arise and demand their rights in NIgeria. Oh my GOD I am so angry.
Where are all the rich female celebrities with leverage? Instead of you to speak for women's rights, you are all keeping silent.
If you are a woman reading this you should be boiling with anger
What the fuck nigeria? Even your so called president did not appoint any woman as part of his delegate to america.
Fuck you buhari and all the men that try to make women second citizens.
May our ancestors punish you.

That's baddddd....am so sad
Hmmmmmm. Much as I wil say dis is b insensitive to exclude them frm NYSC we stil hav to look@d various cogent reasons raised exempting them. Its well and all d best to them.

Better, am in total support of it
Whoa..
Am dancing bobo for this news oooo!
Thank God say my time don pass cus i was pregnant and stayed in camp for 4 days after which i asked to leave , baby is now 2 and half years , we thank God
It's well.
Mks a lot of sense
Yes I like it. Very good.
Hmn. Okay
I think is better because pregnant women and nursing mothers serve their husbands and children not NYSC.
Too bad..thankGod I wnt pass thru that stage again
Better ooo
Thank God.
At least, Mr Greg will be free from pregnant corpers who come to CDS with their family.
Alimosho LGA is their main base.
eyaaaaaaaaaaaa...........Its a welconed development sha..........Instead of seeing heavily pregnant women...stressing themselves
Moye says so via BB Passport courtesy LIB....
OK
what the hell is still d need for this nonsense program,we are talking about cutting cost,why not scrap this nonsense and save the cost of running it.
But this has always been their law, just that people don't keep to it

Nobody is discriminating the women!!! Best thing ve heard so far... or would you have preferred they said all pregnant/nursing mothers should partake in the rigorous training no matter what!! Not onlyy women are post graduate students anyway!!
So in this case u have to pee on a stick when u get to camp! Great! Just great! D aim of this program is defeated so just scrap the damn thing and give graduates the lump sum
Oh please shut your mouth! Stop trying to sound like a feminist your not one. Your pops probably treated you and your sis wrongly so you got issues. You cannot stay in diaspora and pass judgment on something you know nothing about. NYSC is too rigorous for pregnant women and Co. You don't even know what it is so what are you blabbing about. Your a fucktard!.
Please keep quiet where you are , you this uninformed empty barrel .
Supported mbok! Not safe for them plus the fact that they do absolutely nothing and still receive allowee @ the end of each month. Stay @ home mbok.
Hmmmmmm. Much as I wil say dis is b insensitive to exclude them frm NYSC we stil hav to look@d various cogent reasons raised exempting them. Its well and all d best to them.
Y can't They talk abt the most important tin in nysc...increasing the salary of youth corpers,an average youth corper can't survive no dat salary for a month!!
U don't have sense
The category of persons listed won't be in that condition for ever. I think what they actually intended is that once you're free, you can partake so far you still fall within the age restriction. I buy the idea of the DG and I feel it is simply just logical.
Please we should endeavour to think things through and not just jump into sentimental conclusions.
oky
Ehm...madam " I am angry" take it easy oo? 2007 I served in Lagos and I can't count how many women lost their children coz they wanted to "serve". which is more important? The life of your child or the NYSC certificate? Soo many nursing mothers rented apartments outside the camp and brought house helps to look after their children, but many children fell I'll and died. I also know a number of women who lost their pregnancies because they want to be in camp by all means...they didn't say you can't serve: you can actually apply for service after weaning the child...or better still plan d pregnancy because after the three weeks in camp you are allowed to get pregnant as a married woman. it's just to save your life and that of the unborn Child...after all, you are suppose to be a life giver and not a murderer.
It's saves them all those stress..
Since you are in Jupiter, then create your on NYSC there and complain.
Some things can't just be mixed together! And education and child bearing is one of them. One will definitely suffer.
I agree with him jare
Nice talk.
Hian this your gbagaun na wa o, why dont u spend your time reading Brighter Grammar than always commenting on lib. Hypocrite
thank God say my wife don pass out before dis one start. she is always one step ahead. Chineke thank sir.
I don't get the idea of barring the post graduate students .Most of my friends schooled overseas and are currently running their PG. They still fall within the serving age bracket .
Some people just pass senseless comments here. How can u call this discrimination? They are only trying to protect women by exempting them. If u have a pregnant wife, will u allow her go through the rigorous NYSC exercise?
How can you be leaving for your service and the only precious gift your hubby can afford is to get you pregnant when he knows he won't be their to carter for you, come!that's foolishness no bobo will help you in the camp because you're heavy no jollof for them and only you will be suffering with your heavy belle like say na my name you bin dey screem when ur hubby dy give u d ogbono...
I don escape dis one, went 2 camp when I was 5months. Now a nursing mum, jus finished my 3 months leave, and go only when is signing of pv. Is so fun.
u dont exempt them totally from the program but give them considerations. pregnant women work in the military, offices and all spheres of life. they only get maternity leave. we pretend alot in this country. Hypocrites
I agree with this. Pregnant women have no place in Camp
All I see here is gender stereotype! If they should be exempted, the guys that impregnated them should also be exempted. And pls, their certificates should be made available before the end of the service year so that they can get something doing while the 'so-called eligible participants' waste their time! Mtchewww
Diane if the nysc wants to do that it should exclude the pregnant women N nursing mothers from the 3 weeks training but to bar them N hold their life down for a year is really discrimination. I also live abroad N trust me this is very wrong. You may not know how bad things are until you're exposed to so much more.
YEAH its sense making , buh all these are for women, they should put options for MEN too, and ladies dis is an added advantage, if you knw you dont want to serve JUST "GET PREGNANT" DURING YOUR FINALS......
And she don de find husband,she nor see...oloshi..
Fuck two of you and your retarded husbands
Better
Ogundiran Oyindamola, u are in total support of it bcoz you don't have PGD students around you. It's really unfair
I think this is not fair. The pregnant and nursing mothers could be exempted from camp activities, but should be posted to their PPAs after the three weeks exercise. Or their entitlements and NYSC discharge certificates should be made available. barring them from serving for a whole year is like holding them to ransom, bcos they can't look for jobs without the NYSC cert. I call on women activists to look into this urgently.....is it a crime for a married woman to be pregnant? This is UNFAIR....this decision should be rescinded or modified.
What about those who can't participate in camp activities on medical grounds? Especially those with asthma or physically handicaped? Shud dey wait till dey are cured too?
