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.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
