The Kwara Government has temporarily relocated the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Permanent Orientation Camp in Yikpata, Edu Local Government, to the state Polytechnic campus along Old Jebba Road, Ilorin.

The NYSC Coordinator in the state, Mr Joshua Onifade, said this during a news conference on Thursday in Ilorin.

Onifade said the decision became necessary due to recent security concerns around the permanent orientation camp in Yikpata.

“The NYSC management wishes to appreciate the unrelenting efforts of the state government and the various security operatives in resolving the insecurity challenges in some parts of the state.

“The decision to temporarily relocate the camp is to substantially allay the fears of our prospective corps members, especially those who will be visiting the state for the first time.

“I commend Governor AbdulRahman for this proactive decision and for always ensuring that the issues of corps members’ welfare remain his utmost priority,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the NYSC orientation course for the 2025 Batch ‘B’ stream 2 corps members was scheduled to commence nationwide on Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2025.

1,800 Corps members were expected to participate in the 21-day exercise in Kwara.

Meanwhile, the fella that saw the urgency of SOE in Rivers are blind to terrorists reigning supremely in Kwara state. Let's the selective justice administration continues. We will all see where its leads this nation to.

My precious yikpata . They are gradually taking over Kwara . It's so sad these bandits are infiltrating Kwara communities . the peace I had while serving in kaiama back in 2017 is unquantifiable . Serene environment, peaceful , cheap cost of living . APC has happened to Kwara 😥🥺

[sub][/sub]i have thought about this...because the nysc camp in kwara state is in the middle of forest...no fence and its widely open to few wild animals...

ajalawole:
the insecurity is likely a game plan bro. The current emir is old, and most Yoruba may not want another Fulani emir, Fulani may also not want Yoruba emir or oba so those guys maybe taking position in time for the eventualities. The government may not know this, but is likely.

Albertone:
Kaiama is very boring and underdeveloped

Stop living in self-denial. Someone just opened your eyes to the true picture, unfortunately you still choose to continue lying to yourself. Reality will clear your eyes in the coming days.
