Mr Ibrahim Lass, Yobe State Coordinator, National
Youth Service Corps (NYCS), said that the management of the scheme would
consider re-opening orientation camp in the state next year.
He made this known during the passing-out ceremony of the 2014 Batch
‘B’ corps members in Damaturu. “Now that the security situation is
gradually improving in Yobe, we are considering holding NYSC orientation
camp next year, if the state government rehabilitates the camp.
Lass added that NYSC had not been holding orientation camp in the state since 2010 due to persistent security problems.
The coordinator said that holding orientation camp outside the state posed serious challenges to the management of the scheme in the area. He, however, advised corps members deployed to the state not to panic, saying that the security situation in the state had improved tremendously.
He said that a total of 265 corps members served in the 2014 Batch B out of which five got presidential merit award. Passing-out ceremony of corps members in the state has been low-keyed since 2010, owing to the security challenges facing some parts of the state.
