News Investigators/ The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has deployed no fewer than 1,700 corps members to Bauchi State for the 2025 Batch ‘B’ stream 1 orientation exercise.
Jacob Unogwu, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the scheme in the state, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Bauchi.
According to him, registration of prospective corps members will commence on July 30 and end at midnight on July 31 at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Wailo, in Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the state.
He explained that the swearing-in ceremony of the prospective corps members would be conducted on Aug. 1, while the orientation exercise would end on Aug. 19.
Mr Unogwu also said that each of the prospective corps members would be allowed into the camp only after being adequately certified to be genuine graduates.
He said that discreet screening of the corps members would be conducted as part of security measures to ensure that there was no intrusion or impersonation.
“Registration dates have been announced to the corps members, and they are advised to adhere strictly to all camp rules and regulations.
“Defaulters will be sanctioned in accordance with the scheme’s extant rules,” said Unogwu.
The PRO also reiterated that the scheme frowned at late-night journeys and urged prospective corps members to avoid it for their own safety.
He, however, tasked them to be punctual and diligent as well as comply with the camp’s acceptable dress codes, adding that flouting the directive would be sanctioned.
