The National Youth Service Corps in Nigeria has deployed 1,570 corps members to Northeast state of Bauchi for the 2023 Batch A Stream 1 orientation exercises.

The NYSC Bauchi state Coordinator, Alhaji Namadi Abubakar, said , the orientation for the corps members begins on January 25 and ends on February 15 at the state Permanent Orientation Camp, Wailo in the Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the state.

Abubakar said 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.

He stressed that those who test positive for COVID-19 would be isolated at the NCDC centre outside the orientation camp for treatment, as the registration would be conducted for just two days.

“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.

“Defaulters will be sanctioned in accordance with the NYSC by-laws,’’ the Coordinator said.

Abubakar charged the corps members to be punctual and diligent and to comply with the camp’s acceptable dress code.

“Negligence of the NYSC dressing code will not be tolerated,’’ the coordinator stressed.

Abubakar also added that a total of 1,205 prospective corps members posted to Borno State would have their orientation at the Government Girls Secondary School, Soro, also in Ganjuwa LGA
