The National Youth Service Corp has succumbed to pressure from parents on the posting of some corps members to the troubled northern part of the country. They have reached a decision to redeploy 14,850 corps members to safe states.

NYSC has asked the corpers affected to report at the NYSC headquarters for redeployment to safer states.

In a statement by the Director-General of the NYSC, Brig.-General Nnamdi Okore-Affia, in Abuja on Wednesday, corpers posted to Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau, Kano and Kaduna were directed to immediately report to the NYSC headquarters 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 the following:

“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 on 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 on their call-up letters."

“Date: Thursday 26th July-Thursday 16th August, 2012, as earlier published."

“In addition, 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.”

Oluwa thank you oh for their decision.
