No fewer than 1,400 National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members have been deployed to Bauchi state for the 2022 Batch C, Stream 1 orientation exercises.
Alhaji Namadi Abubakar, NYSC Coordinator in the state, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday.
Abubakar said orientation for the corps members will hold from Wednesday, October 26, to Tuesday, November 15, at the state permanent orientation camp, Wailo, in Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the state.
According to him, prospective corps members would only be allowed into the camp after being certified COVID-19 free by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in compliance with COVID-19 protocols.
He said that any corps member who tested positive would be referred to the NCDC isolation centre outside the orientation camp for treatment, adding that only 200 persons would be registered per day.
"Registration dates have been assigned to each prospective corps member to avoid overcrowding.
"A total of 200 persons will be allowed for registration per day.
"Participants are advised to adhere strictly to the COVID-19 safety measures put in place by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and the NCDC.
"Defaulters will be sanctioned in accordance with the NYSC bye laws," said the state coordinator.
Abubakar, who advised the corps members to be punctual, diligent and comply with the camp’s acceptable dress code, said that defaulters would also be sanctioned in accordance with the NYSC bye laws.
"Corps members are advised to strictly adhere to the camp accepted dress code, either physical training kits with NYSC crested vest, khaki, trousers, jungle boots, customised stockings, face cap and belt or ceremonial dress.
"Negligence of the NYSC dressing code will not be tolerated,” he said.
