NYSC to resume orientation in Borno after 13-year suspension due to insurgency
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) says it plans to resume its orientation programme for new corps members in Borno, 13 years after it was suspended due to the Boko Haram insurgency.
The corps members deployed to the state were made to observe their orientation in Katsina state for several years due to the insurgency.
The state commissioner of police, Lawal Yusufu, told newsmen at the ad hoc orientation camp located in the Arabic Teachers College, Maiduguri, on Monday that the next orientation would be held in the state.
Mr Yusufu, who spoke after assessing the facilities at the camp, said that security agencies would work in concert to provide security for the incoming NYSC members at entry, exit, and other strategic places in the camp.
The commissioner was accompanied on the visit by government officials, including the secretary to the state government, Bukar Tijjani, the state NYSC Coordinator, Mohammed Adamu, and the state chairman of the NYSC governing board, Mohammed Badiya.
The orientation programme for the new NYSC members is expected to commence on August 18.
