NYSC Redeploys Corps Members From Troubled State!

Parents and several stakeholders, including the House of Representatives, have kicked vehemently against posting Youth Corps Members to states that have been prone to security threats.
 

Prospective Corps Members, who were posted to Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau, Kano and Kaduna States and are yet to report to their camps, have now been directed to report immediately to the NYSC Directorate headquarters in Abuja for redeployment. CMs posted to Yobe and Borno States would also now carry out their orientation exercise at the NYSC camps in Nasarawa and Benue States respectively.

In a statement signed by NYSC's Director General, Brig. Gen. Nnamdi Okore-Affia, the NYSC reminded Yobe and Borno CMs that their orientation dates remain July 26, 2012 and August 16, 2012 as earlier announced. Although the statement did not clarify if the CMs would go back to Yobe and Borno for their primary assignments after the orientation exercise,

“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 in 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 in their call-up letters,” the statement said.
