Bauchi NYSC relocates orientation camp over renovation
The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC Bauchi State office has announced a change of venue for the upcoming 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream II orientation course.
The orientation camp will now be held at Adamu Tafawa Balewa College of Education in Kangere, instead of the usual Wailo NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, which is currently undergoing renovations.
According to Bauchi State NYSC Coordinator Rifkatu Yakubu, in a press statement made available to journalists on Monday, the venue change is necessary to facilitate the complete overhaul of the permanent orientation camp.
The statement read, “The general public is hereby informed that the forthcoming 2024 Batch ‘B’ stream II orientation exercise for corps members posted to Bauchi State is to be held at Adamu Tafawa Balewa College of Education Kangere along Gombe Road, Bauchi LGA, Bauchi State.
This development arises following the recent visit of the executive Governor of Bauchi State, Sen. Bala Mohammed, to NYSC permanent orientation camp, Wailo where he directed the state Projects Monitoring and Evaluation Committee to immediately embark on total renovation of the existing camp structures and possibly built additional facilities.”
Yakubu added that the temporary relocation to Kangere College will ensure a smooth and successful orientation exercise for the prospective corps members.
She warned prospective corps members to avoid the night journey by breaking their journey and continuing on the following day.
Our correspondent gathered that about 1,900 prospective corps members have been deployed to the state for the exercise, which is scheduled to take place from August 28 to September 17, 2024.
