The NYSC added that only three types of dressing used for different occasions would be acceptable for corps members.
The corps stated this in a document exclusively obtained by our correspondent in Abuja.
The document reads, “The modes of dressing for corps members are classified into three categories, which are used for different occasions . One , within the camp during the orientation programme , their normal attire , except otherwise directed, consists of a pair of white shorts with a white vest and white canvas shoes and socks.
“Two, for ceremonial purposes , the proper dressing is crested vest on top of a pair of Khaki trousers with a pair of jungle boots and socks with the trouser folded inside the socks . The belt and the Fez cap are to match.
“Three , for Man O ’War activities at the camp and Community Development Service programmes , they are expected to appear in a jacket and trousers with the plain white vest inside, the jungle boot and the Fez cap , as well as a customised belt to match.
“On the use of the hijab , the NYSC does not issue the hijab as part of its uniform. However , the NYSC management allows corps members to use a white hijab that drops at shoulder level for religious purposes."
The scheme in the document listed the complete dress kit issued to a corps member as : a set of Khaki trouser and jacket , one crested vest , a pair of jungle boot , two pairs of white shorts , two plain white vests , a pair of white canvas shoes, one Fez cap , two pairs of customised socks and a customised belt.
