While some of them would repeat the service year, others had theirs extended for between two weeks and five months.
The culprits were part of the 2012 Batch 'B' corps members, who passed out across the country on Thursday.
This came as seven corps members died within the period in Rivers and Nasarawa states.
In Osun State, the NYSC state Coordinator, Mrs. Mojibola Eboagwu, said 21 corps members, who absconded from service, would be sanctioned.
In an address at the ceremony in the state, Eboagwu added that nine corps members, who absented themselves from duty, would face sanction.
Eboagwu said, "I am glad that the majority of the 3, 797 corps members passing out today have proved to be good ambassadors of the scheme.
"Ten corps members, who have distinguished themselves in various ways shall receive state awards.
"Twenty-five others will be given commendations. Nine corps members, who have committed such offences such as absenteeism and 21 who absconded from service are to be sanctioned.
"Their penalties range from extension to outright repetition of service in the case of absconding."
The Enugu NYSC Coordinator, Mr. Hilary Nasamu, said three errant corps members had their service year extended.
"One corps member, who absconded from service, will be remobilised to start afresh whenever he resurfaces," said Nasamu.
Meanwhile, 21 corps members, whose performances were exceptional, were honoured in the state.
The Rivers State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs. Josephine Okuonghae, said 17 corps members were sanctioned for various offences.
According to her, eight of the corps members will repeat the service, while the remaining nine will have theirs extended to between two weeks and five months.
She noted that the state lost four corps members within the period.
In Akwa Ibom State, coordinator of the scheme, Mr. Akinkunmi Martins, said three corps members would repeat the service year, while 49 others had an extension of between one and four months.
He said, "A total of three corps members will repeat the service, while 49 others will serve extension periods ranging from one month to four months."
The Ondo State NYSC Director, Mr. Isiaka Kuoye, said 13 corps members would repeat the programme, while 19 others had the service year extended for commiting various offences.
According to him, 13 of the corps members refused to report to their primary places of assignment.
