NYSC Deploys 2,500 Corps Members To Kaduna State

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has deployed 2,
500 corps members to Kaduna State for the 2015 Batch B
orientation course.Mr. Mohammed Momoh, the state’s NYSC Coordinator,
made this known on Tuesday at a news conference in
Kaduna.

He said the orientation would begin on Oct. 28, adding that
with the security situation in the North East, corps
members posted to Gombe State would make use of the
orientation camp in Kaduna State before redeploying to
their state of posting. Momoh noted that “the orientation will be in two streams
with Kaduna taking the first stream from Oct. 28 to Nov.
17, while Gombe will take the second from Nov. 25 to Dec.
15. “Redeployment will only be on marital and health issues,’’
he added.
On the ban on nursing mothers and pregnant women from
camp, the coordinator said he had been directed to attend
to them in order not to jeopardise the wellbeing of the
children. “Since there are no facilities for children and pregnant
women, they will register and go home until the orientation
is over and their posting is ready for collection.’’
He said skill acquisition and entrepreneurial programmes
had been arranged for members to be self reliant after their
service year.
He called for the support and cooperation of the people in
the state to ensure that corps embers were directed to the
orientation camp.
