NYSC Relocates 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Orientation Camp in Bauchi for Renovation
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced a temporary relocation of the 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream II orientation camp to Adamu Tafawa Balewa College of Education, Kangere, Bauchi State.
This decision was made to facilitate renovations at the Permanent Orientation Camp located in Wailo, Ganjuwa Local Government Area.
According to a statement released on Monday by Mrs. Rifkatu Yakubu, the NYSC coordinator for Bauchi State, the relocation is a necessary measure to allow the state government to carry out extensive rehabilitation work on the Wailo camp.
Mrs. Yakubu noted that Governor Bala Mohammed had issued directives for a complete overhaul of the current camp facilities to improve the quality and functionality of the orientation camp for future batches.
She emphasized that the relocation is only temporary and is being done to ensure the safety and comfort of the corps members during the renovation period.
The new facility, located at the Adamu Tafawa Balewa College of Education, will serve as the venue for the three-week orientation program for the 1,900 prospective corps members deployed to the state.
The orientation program is scheduled to begin on August 28 and will run until September 17, 2024.
Mrs. Yakubu also used the opportunity to advise corps members to take extra precautions during their travels, particularly discouraging them from embarking on night journeys.
She recommended that they break their journeys when necessary and continue the following day to ensure their safety.
In conclusion, the NYSC, along with the Bauchi State government, is committed to providing a conducive environment for the corps members during their orientation, and the ongoing renovation of the permanent camp is a step towards achieving this goal.
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
