The National
Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has announced that 2017 BATCH “B” STREAM II
orientation camp scheduled to start on January 16, 2018 is suspended in
Benue
and Taraba State.
The NYSC
made this announcement on its twitter handle to prospective corp members, PCMs,
posted to Benue and Taraba. It noted that a new date will be communicated
soon.
“The NYSC
management wishes to inform all PCMs deployed to Benue and Taraba states that
the 2017 Batch B stream 2 orientation course scheduled to hold in Benue camp
has been suspended. A new date will be communicated to you in due course,” the
agency said.
No reason
was given for the postponement. However, both states have suffered recently
from violence between herdsmen and farming communities leading to scores of
deaths.
The NYSC had
previously fixed January 16 for the opening of orientation camps for
prospective Batch B, Stream 2, corps members nationwide.
The
management of the Scheme had said the 2017 Batch ‘B’ Stream II orientation
course was scheduled to hold in 15 NYSC Orientation Camps which were Abia,
Bauchi, Benue, Delta, Enugu, Sokoto, Jigawa, Kaduna, Katsina, Plateau, Lagos,
Osun, Oyo, Rivers and the FCT.
With this
development, orientation camp will commence on the 16th only in 13 states and
Abuja.
