NYSC expresses regret in mix-up over Benue camp resumption dates

THE National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has expressed regrets over the mix-up in the reporting date for the 2015 Batch ‘A’ Orientation Course in respect of the corps members deployed to Benue State.

The orientation of youth corps members in their Benue camp, like in some other states has been planned to take place in two streams with the Stream I scheduled to take place from 5th to 25th May 2015 and Stream II to hold from 2nd to 22nd June 2015.

However, the Corps members assigned for the Stream II exercise in Benue reported at the Camp between 5th and 6th May 2015 as against their scheduled date of 2nd June due to error on their call-up letters.

NYSC in a statement signed by its Director of Press, Mrs. Bosede Aderibigbe in Abuja said it had paid financial expenses the mix-up might have caused the affected prospective corps members to enable them travel back to their homes and return to camp on 2 June.

The NYSC management assured corps members not to entertain fear about the camp arrangement, as it would not affect their passing-out date.

The statement reads in part; “Consequently, all the affected prospective Corps members originally scheduled to participate in the Stream II of the on-going Orientation course in Benue State have been paid their transport fare to and fro the orientation camp in line with their entitlements in the present circumstance.
