Batch C orientation for Bauchi, Yobe, Borno, rescheduled

The 2012 Batch `C' NYSC orientation programme for prospective corps members deployed to Bayelsa, Yobe and Borno States has been postponed to Nov. 28.

The Deputy Director, Publications of the NYSC, Mr Peter Atilola, who disclosed Friday in Abuja, said that the Bayelsa orientation was postponed due to the recent flood in the state, and the subsequent accommodation of displaced victims in the NYSC orientation camp in Kaiama, adding that the orientation will now commence from Nov. 28 to Dec. 19 at the NYSC orientation camp in Kaiama Grammar School, Kolokoma-Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

He said that the postponement in Borno and Yobe States was for security reasons.

``The corps members posted to Borno State will camp at the Benue orientation camp at Wanune, Tarka Local Government Area.

``Yobe State corps members will camp at the Keffi camp in Nasarawa State, both camps will commence on Nov. 28 and end on Dec. 19.''

He urged the affected corps members to take note of the new date and report to the camp unfailingly.

Meanwhile NYSC had slated Nov. 6 to Nov. 27 for the orientation activities for other states in the country.
