Why Some Female Corp Members Refuse To Wear Trousers

The issue of some female corp members being decamped for refusing to put on the NYSC uniform which includes a pair of trousers comes up from time to time especially when new sets of corp members arrive at orientation camps nationwide.

The reason provided by most corp, members who decide not to wear the trousers is mainly faith-based. They think that putting on trousers is against their religious beliefs.

One would have expected the religious bodies that they represent to come up with explanations or a defense of the decisions of their members to not wear trousers during their NYSC, but none is often provided.

The affected female corp members are usually decamped for failing to abide by the rules of the orientation camp. Officials of the NYSC have on many occasions explained that corp members are given some kind of paramilitary training which requires that they be fully kitted in trousers.

However, many people see the behaviors of those female corp members as too extreme.
