The National Youth Service Corps on Thursday
announced the redeployment of corps members
posted to seven northern states for the purpose of
their orientation.
The affected states are Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno,
Gombe, Jigawa, Kano and Yobe states.
The corps members posted to the states will hold
their orientation in states other than where they
would have their primary assignments
A statement issued on Thursday in Abuja by the
Director of Public Relations, NYSC, Mrs. Bose

of insecurity in some northern parts of the country.
The corps members are part of the 2014 Batch ‘B’
Orientation Course, scheduled to commence on
Tuesday, August 5, 2014 (today).
The NYSC said due to logistic reasons, the

states of deployment.

meant for the affected northern states had been
scheduled to take place from Monday September
1, 2014 to Monday September 22, 2014.
