In the short footage, it is suggested that the corps member’s punishment was related to her alleged failure to fulfill her work responsibilities. The dialogues in the video indicate that the corps member, speaking in her native Yoruba dialect, mentioned experiencing symptoms related to menstruation.
In response, the school proprietress argued that if the corps member had communicated her condition, understanding would have been extended as she herself is a woman.
The video has elicited strong reactions from Nigerians who have expressed concerns about a perceived pattern of employers mistreating corps members at their places of primary assignment (PPA).
The NYSC, responsible for coordinating the national youth service program, has stated its commitment to investigating the incident to ensure the well-being and fair treatment of corps members across the country. This investigation comes amid broader discussions about the welfare and safety of NYSC participants during their service year.
