The location of the 2023 Batch “B” Stream One Orientation Camp has been changed by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in response to the current state of unrest in Plateau State. The choice means to guarantee the wellbeing and prosperity of forthcoming corps individuals in the midst of the difficult security circumstance in the area.
The NYSC offered an authority expression today, through the Chief, Press and Advertising, Vortex Megwa, telling general society, especially planned corps individuals, about the change in the camp area. The Permanent Orientation Camp in Mangu, which was originally planned to be the location, has been moved to the Waye Foundation in Dio-Du, Jos South Local Government Area, Plateau State, next to Buken Academy. Until further notice, the Waye Foundation will act as a temporary NYSC Orientation Camp.
This important update should be taken into consideration by all potential corps members, and they should report to the new Orientation Camp, Waye Foundation by Buken Academy, on the dates outlined in their call-up letters. Corps members can guarantee a smooth start to the NYSC program by following these instructions.
The decision to change the venue was made with the safety and security of the corps members in mind. The NYSC is committed to providing a secure environment for young graduates who are partaking in the national service. By relocating the Orientation Camp to a more secure location, the NYSC aims to mitigate potential risks and safeguard the well-being of the corps members.
Plateau State has faced significant security challenges in recent times, especially in Mangu and Barrakin Ladi respectively making it necessary for the NYSC to take proactive measures to protect the participants. The Waye Foundation, with its strategic location, offers improved security arrangements that align with the NYSC’s commitment to ensuring the safety of corps members throughout their orientation period.
The NYSC encourages all prospective corps members to comply with the directive and make the necessary arrangements to report to the new camp location as specified in their call-up letters. Any further updates regarding the Orientation Camp and related activities will be communicated through official channels, and corps members are advised to stay updated.
The NYSC remains dedicated to the welfare of corps members and will continue to prioritize their safety and security in all its operations. The decision to relocate the Orientation Camp demonstrates the organization’s commitment to adapting to the prevailing circumstances and providing a conducive environment for corps members to fulfill their national service obligations.
Prospective corps members are urged to stay vigilant, adhere to security guidelines, and cooperate with NYSC officials to ensure a successful and secure orientation experience.
