* Orientation course to begin May 21


By Caleb Ayansina


ABUJA - The Federal Government, on Tuesday, ordered
the immediate release of funds for the mobilization
exercise of the 2016 Batch A, stream II service year.

This followed the outcry by the Director General of the
National Youth Service Corps(NYSC), Brigadier General,
Sule Kazaure that lack of funds might stall the exercise
if nothing is urgently done.

On Monday , Kazaure while appearing before the
Senate Committee on Youth and Sport said all the
affected corps members are to remain in their various
homes due to non-availability of fund arising from
N13billion shortfall in the agency’s 2016 budget.

Consequently the government intervened, approved and
subsequently released funds to accommodate the 2016
Batch A stream 11 orientation course.

Reacting to this, the NYSC in a statement signed by its
Director of Press and Public Relations, Mrs Abosede
Aderibigbe, on Tuesday, in Abuja, commended the
efforts of the Federal Government for its prompt
intervention, approval and release of funds to
accommodate the corps members.

The statement reads: "Management also wishes to use
this medium to inform and assure prospective corps
members, parents, guardian and the general public that
the 2016 Batch A stream II orientation course holds as
scheduled from Saturday, May 21 to Monday, June 6,
2016 while the swearing in ceremony of the 2016
Batch A stream II corps members holds on Monday,
May 23, 2016 .

"Prospective corps members are by this notice directed
to print their call up letters online and collect from their
various institutions of graduation."
