Adamawa State NYSC Orientation Camp reopens after 3 years.

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Orientation camp in Adamawa State has been reopened for NYSC camp orientation course after 3 years of shut-down due to Boko Haram insurgency.

Vanguard reported that the state coordinator of NYSC, Mr Mohammed Abubakar, said 2, 500 corps members were deployed to the state.

Abubakar said: “Registration of corp members started this Tuesday morning by 7 am and you can see they are trooping in; we are expecting 2, 500 corp members.”

Mr. Abubakar said that the camp is currently heavily guarded by about 300 security officials from the Nigeria Army, Nigeria Police, Department of State Security (DSS), and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC).

He explained that Adamawa State government has provided the facility of Adamawa State Polytechnic, Yola, as a temporary camp to accommodate about 2,500 Corps Members pending the final evacuation of the Internally Displaced Persons at the permanent orientation camp in Damare.

“I want the corps members to understand that this is a borrowed camp and should therefore bear with the available facilities." He said.

While lauding Adamawa State Government for its support towards a successful resumption of NYSC orientation course in the State, the coordinator, Mr Abubakar urged the people of Adamawa State to support and show hospitality to Corps Members.
