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.

JAMB To Release Results of Resit on Wednesday After Problems With First Exam

JAMB has announced that it will release the results of over 379,000 candidates who sat for the rescheduled UTME this Wednesday. The resit, which ran from Friday to Monday, was organized following several reports of technical and human issues during the initial exam. These issues, which were especially noticeable in Lagos and the South-East, affected candidates’ performance and sparked nationwide concern about the exam’s fairness.
JAMB admitted to system failures and took responsibility. Last week, Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, while announcing the makeup exam, emotionally accepted blame and assured affected candidates they would get another chance. Out of the original 1.9 million candidates who sat for the UTME, more than 1.5 million scored below 200 marks, raising eyebrows about the exam’s credibility.
JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, confirmed that the resit results would be made public on Wednesday. He noted that 379,997 candidates were affected—over 200,000 from Lagos and more than 170,000 from the South-East. According to the registrar, the issues were due to sabotage, and affected candidates were notified via text messages starting last Thursday.
So far, of the nearly two million results processed, only 0.24% of candidates scored 320 and above, while just 0.63% scored 300 and above. Around 3.76% scored between 250–299, 17.11% fell within the 200–249 range, and over half—50.29%—scored between 160–199. The rest scored below 160, with a very small number getting less than 100.

He added that even as statistics suggest that the cost of food is starting to drop, traders have refused to comply. Furthermore, he expressed frustration, saying the refusal to lower prices shows a deeper problem of selfishness among citizens. According to him, Nigerians are their own worst enemies, driven by greed and a habit of taking more than they need.
