NYSC deploys 1,400 prospective corps members to Bauchi State

NYSC has deployed 1,400 corps members to Bauchi State for the 2022 Batch C, Stream 1 orientation exercises.

Alhaji Namadi Abubakar, NYSC Coordinator in the state, told journalists on Friday in Bauchi that the orientation for the corps members begins on Oct.  26 and ends on Nov.15.

The prospective corps members would be allowed into the camp only after being certified COVID-19 free by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), he said.

Those that test positive to COVID-19 would be isolated at the NCDC centre outside the orientation camp for treatment, he said, adding that only 200 persons would be registered per day.

“Registration dates have been assigned to each prospective corps member to avoid overcrowding. A total of 200 persons will be allowed for registration each day.

“Participants 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,’’ Abubakar said.

He advised the corps members to be punctual, be diligent and to comply with the camp’s acceptable dress code.

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