The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)
yesterday redeployed all Corps members
posted to Yobe and Borno states.
Those posted to Yobe are to report to
Nasarawa State; those posted to Borno were
redeployed to Benue State.
A statement by the NYSC Director-General,
Brig-Gen. Nnamdi Okore-Affia, directed
those posted to Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau,
Kano and Kaduna states but are yet to report
in the orientation camps to report at the
NYSC Directorate Headquarters, Abuja for
redeployment.
The statement reads:” This is to inform all
prospective corps members deployed to Yobe
and Borno States for the 2012 Batch ‘B’
Orientation Course to note that all those
posted to Yobe State 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
Brig-Gen. Okore-Affia said: “All those posted
to Borno State 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.
“Also, 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.”
Brig-Gen. Okore-Affia’s announcement
coincided with the promise by the Federal
Government, Bauchi and Plateau states to
ensure that Corps members performing the
one-year mandatory service are safe from
danger.
Minister of Information Mr. Labaran Maku
said the Federal Government is addressing
the fear raised by some Corps members. He
said President Goodluck Jonathan places
premium on safety of corps members.
He said: “The Minister of Youths Affairs was
not in the council meeting today but I believe
the ministry is handling the issue
appropriately. The President places
premium on safety of corps members. It is
our responsibility to ensure they are safe
wherever they are deployed. The Federal
Government will look into issues relating to
the corps members’ safety now and in the
future.”
