Female Corper Banned From NYSC Camp After Refusing To Wear Trousers


A Female corps member, Miss Tolutope Ekundayo, has been prohibited from participating in the ongoing orientation programme in the Ogun State NYSC camp for allegedly refusing to wear trousers – Imagine that!!!

Ekundayo, who spoke with reporters after a press conference organised by the General Overseer, Faith Revival Apostolic Church, Apostle Paul Adenuga in Lagos, said she was thrown out of the camp.

According to Ekundayo, females wearing trousers contravened her Christian belief – oh so other female Christians in the camp have two heads, right?

Tolulope said, “I faced a panel and I was directed to submit all the kits that were given to me on the camp, which I did. There was also an order that I should go to the account unit and refund the N2, 500 transport and bicycle allowances paid to me when I arrived at the camp and I did so. All these happened on the same Friday that they ordered me to leave the camp.
 “I want to serve my fatherland and if NYSC will allow me to wear skirts, I am ready to return to the Orientation Camp. My khaki and white skirts were made in such a way that they did not give me any problem. 

I was in Platoon Four and I participated actively in all the exercises from Tuesday to the Friday that I was thrown out of the camp.”
