The Local government Inspector,  Mr Dominic Brown speaking to corps members after today's CDS meeting , has expreseed displeasure at the lack of discipline corp members show towards the weekly CDS meetings in terms of late coming and absenteeism. CDS group meetings were scanty as at 10am this morning and was quite displeasing to the LI who attended his first official CDS along with CDS coordinator for Yakurr LGA, Mrs Reginna. He held a closed door meeting with all CDS presidents afterwards and decided that strict measures be taken to latecomers and even absentees. CDS presidents could now begin to hand clearance to members before every monthly clearance. He also admonished corpers to maintain the proper NYSC  dress code when going for any official assignment. The date for june  monthly clearance has not been decided however.
