From Ahmad Muhammad, Bauchi
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has explained 2,300 Corps members have been deployed to Bauchi State for the 2023 Batch A Stream 2 orientation exercise as a beginning of the mandatory one year service to their fatherland.
The state NYSC Coordinator, Mrs Rifkatu Yakubu, stated this while speaking to Journalists in Bauchi on Monday preceding the official opening of the Camp.
She said the orientation for the Corps members begins on Wednesday, April 26 and ends on May 16 at the State Permanent Orientation Camp, Wailo, in Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the state.
Rifkatu added that the prospective Corps members would be allowed into the camp only after being certified COVID-19 free by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
She explained that those that test positive to COVID-19 would be isolated at the NCDC centre outside the Orientation camp for treatment.
The Coordinator said that, “Registration dates have been assigned to each prospective corps member and they are advised to adhere strictly to COVID-19 safety measures put in place by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and the NCDC.”
