The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has deployed no fewer than 1,600 corps members to Bauchi State for the 2024 Batch ‘C’ stream 1 orientation exercise.
The NYSC coordinator in the state, Mrs Rifkatu Yakubu, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Bauchi.
Yakubu said that registration of prospective corps members would commence on Nov. 27 at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Wailo, in Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the state.
She said that the swearing-in ceremony of the prospective corps members would be conducted on Nov. 29, while the orientation exercise would end on Dec 17.
According to her, each of the prospective corps members will be allowed into the camp, only after being adequately certified to be genuine graduates.
The coordinator said that discreet screening of the corps members would be conducted as part of security measures to ensure that there was no intrusion or impersonation.
“Registration dates have been announced to the corps members, and they are advised to adhere strictly to all camp rules and regulations.
“Defaulters will be sanctioned in accordance with the scheme’s extant rules,” she said.
Yakubu also said that the scheme frowned at late night journeys and urged prospective corps members to avoid it for their own safety.
She urged them to be punctual and diligent, as well as comply with the camp’s acceptable dress codes, as flouting the directive would lead to being sanctioned.
