Alas! NYSC to Repost Corpers

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has eventually succumbed to pressure from various quarters, including the House of Representatives, and has announced the rescheduling of the posting of all corps members deployed to Yobe and Borno States for the 2012 Batch ‘B’ Orientation Course.

Also, those posted to some disturbed areas in the North such as Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau, Kano and Kaduna, but who have not yet reported to the camp, have been directed to report immediately to the NYSC Directorate Headquarters, Abuja, for redeployment.

According to a statement by the Director General of NYSC, Brig-Gen Nnamdi Okore-Affia, “Yobe State prospective corps members will now hold their orientation course at the Nasarawa State NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Keffi, Keffi LGA, and not as stated on their call-up letters… Borno State prospective corps members will undertake their orientation programme at the Benue State NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp at Wanume, Tarka LGA, and not as stated on their call-up letters…”

The date for the rescheduled orientation is now Thursday 26th July-Thursday 16th August, 2012. The statement also pointed out that: “… all 2012 Batch ‘B’ prospective corps members deployed to Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau, Kano and Kaduna states who have collected their call-up letters but are yet to report in camp should immediately report at the NYSC Directorate Headquarters, Abuja for redeployment”.
