Kaduna Unrest: Batch ‘C’ corp members told to stay at home

National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members of 2018 batch ‘C’ deployed to Kaduna have been advised to stay at home pending when the government relaxes the curfew.

The orientation course, which was earlier scheduled to commence on Tuesday, October 23, has now been postponed indefinitely following renewed crisis in the state capital.

Confirming a statement signed by NYSC management in Kaduna on Monday, Coordinator of the Scheme in the State, Hajiya Walida Siddique said, the development became necessary to guide against any eventuality.

The statement read in part, “The Management of National Youth Service Corps wishes to inform all 2018 Batch C prospective Corps Members deployed to Kaduna State that the commencement of the Orientation Course earlier scheduled for Tuesday, 23rd October, 2018 has been suspended till further notice due to the current security situation and consequent curfew imposed by the state government.

“All affected prospective Corps Members are advised to remain at home until further notice from the NYSC Management.”

“However, all other prospective Corps Members deployed to other States and FCT are to report at the various orientation camps on Tuesday, 23rd October, 2018 as scheduled. All inconveniences are regretted.”
