A former lawyer to Nigerian singer Speed Dardeen, Stan Alieke, has shared his thoughts on the recent controversy surrounding a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member who expressed her frustration with President Tinubu and the state of the economy in a viral video.
According to Alieke, the corps member may have erred by violating the NYSC’s employment policy. As an employee of the government, corps members are restricted from making public statements against their employer ¹.
Alieke emphasized that corps members should be aware of this policy and not be swayed by social media support. He cautioned that if the NYSC were to take disciplinary action, the corps member’s job prospects in Nigeria could be severely limited, as some organizations require an NYSC certificate for employment.
Alieke advised the corps member to familiarize herself with the NYSC handbook for further clarification on the organization’s policies and guidelines. His comments highlight the importance of understanding the rules and regulations that govern various institutions and organizations in Nigeria.
