NYSC: 2,300 Prospective Corps Members Deployed To Bauchi

2,300 Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) have been deployed to Bauchi State by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for the 2023 Batch A Stream 2 orientation exercise.

This was disclosed to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) by Rifkatu Yakubu, the Coordinator of the scheme in the state,  on Monday in Bauchi.

Yakubu stated that the orientation for the corps members will commence on April 26 and end on May 16, at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Wailo, in Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the state.

According to her, the PCMs will not be allowed into the camp until they have been certified to be COVID-19-free by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).

She added that those who test positive for the disease would be isolated for treatment at the NCDC centre located outside the orientation camp.

“Registration dates have been assigned to each prospective corps member and they are advised to adhere strictly to the  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,’’ she said.

The Coordinator urged the PCMs to maintain punctuality and diligence while complying with the acceptable dress code on the campground.

She further noted that failure to abide by the NYSC dress code would not be tolerated.
