Flood: No Passing-out Ceremony In Bayelsa – NYSC by CrazyMan(m): 6:17pm On Oct 17, 2012
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Bayelsa will not conduct a passing-out ceremony for 2011 Batch ‘C’ corps members because of the flood disaster in the state, an official said.

The NYSC Public Relations Officer in Bayelsa, Mr Pius Iyamah, made the information  known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Yenagoa on Wednesday.

Iyamah said, ``the passing-out which is scheduled to hold on Oct.18, 2012 without the usual ceremony.

``We will assemble them at the secretariat and call out their names to receive their certificates due to the situation in the state occasioned by the flood disaster. ”

Iyamah disclosed that the ongoing distribution of relief materials to flood victims had compelled the NYSC to shelve the ceremony.

The Yenagoa City Hall normally used for the passing out ceremony by the NYSC has been turned to a storage centre for relief materials, he said.

NAN reports that the flood has also affected social and economic activities in Yenagoa, as almost every available space has been taken over by flood victims.

The victims are currently camped at the Indoor halls of Samson Siasia Sports Stadium, Bishop Dimeri Grammar School, and the premises of Community Primary School in Ovom, among others. (NAN)

I served in Bayelsa some years Back and the rainy season is always troble, talk less of now when there is flood everywhere. The whole of that state is water-logged so no amount of drainages. Can keep the state dry.
The only option is for them to build their houses and roads in the air. wink @Topic,
Guy, enjoy your passing out without d Parade. My Regards to Kaiama Camp and Sgt. Sam Loko(Is he even still there?)
