In a move to prioritize their safety, staff of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and corps members in Osun State have skipped their weekly Community Development Service (CDS) at 30 local government councils.

The decision comes amid an ongoing local government control crisis, which has left several council secretariats locked or partially opened .

Affected councils include Osogbo, Olorunda, Boripe, Ede North, Ede South, Ifelodun, Odo-Otin, and Bolorunduro. Despite Thursday being the designated day for general CDS, neither corps members nor NYSC staff were present at their assigned offices within the councils.

According to a corps member who spoke on condition of anonymity, Local Government Inspectors (LGIs) across the state had instructed corps members to avoid the council premises.

This directive was further reinforced by an official announcement signed by Osogbo LGI, Tawakat Jimoh, which stated that the general CDS scheduled for Thursday had been cancelled due to security concerns.

The cancellation notice read: “Due to the political crisis in all the local government secretariats in Osun State, the general CDS scheduled for Thursday in the Osogbo local government secretariat has been cancelled for security reasons. Stay safe.”

The development highlights the growing uncertainty and tension in Osun State’s local government councils, prompting concerns about the impact on community development projects and services.
