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.
