NYSC Set To Redeploy 14,850 Graduates Posted To The Troubled States.

NYSC has directed the affected corps members to report at the NYSC headquarters for redeployment to states considered safe.

Brig.-General Nnamdi Okore-Affia, in Abuja on Wednesday, directed corps members posted to Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau, Kano and Kaduna states to immediately report to the NYSC headquarters for redeployment.

"This is to inform all prospective corps members deployed to Yobe and Borno states for the 2012 Batch 'B' Orientation Course to note the following:

"Yobe State prospective corps members will now hold their orientation course at the Nasarawa State NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Keffi, Keffi LGA, and not as stated on their call-up letters.

"Borno State prospective corps members will undertake their orientation programme at the Benue State NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp at Wanume, Tarka LGA, and not as stated on their call-up letters.

"Date: Thursday 26th July-Thursday 16th August, 2012, as earlier published.

"In addition, all 2012 Batch 'B' prospective corps members deployed to Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau, Kano and Kaduna states who have collected their call-up letters but are yet to report in camp should immediately report at the NYSC Directorate Headquarters, Abuja for redeployment."

The statement is silent on the fate of those who have already reported in camp in compliance with the earlier directive.

However, a senior official of the corps confided in our correspondent that those who had complied would not be discriminated against.

"Requests by those who responded to the earlier directive to report will be given expeditious consideration because we must not send the wrong signals to those who are law-abiding," the official who asked not to be named said.

A female youth corps member who reported in the Plateau State camp confirmed to punch correspondent on the telephone that they were given re-deployment request forms yesterday.

Fourteen thousand corps members were posted to troubled northern states.
