NYSC Denies Suspending 2014 Batch ‘B’
Orientation Due To Ebola Outbreak
The Management, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)
has dismissed reports making the round that the
orientation course for prospective corps members
deployed to Bauchi, Gombe, Adamawa, Jigawa, Yobe
and Borno States has been suspended due to the outbreak
of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease describing it as false
reports.
Reacting via a press release, yesterday, the scheme
explained that the orientation course for Stream II was
suspended due to the federal government’s
pronouncement that all schools currently on vacation
should remain closed to avert the spread of the Ebola Virus
Disease.
It therefore stated that the report aired was misleading and
capable of causing fear and panic among residents of the
states mentioned.
‘’For the purpose of putting the record straight,
management of the NYSC took a decision in July 2014 to
shift the venues of orientation course for seven states;
namely, Bauchi Gombe, Jigawa, Borno, Yobe Adamawa
and Kano, to other states due to security challenges and
the fears of parents whose wards are to be mobilised.
Therefore the orientation course in these seven states and
that of Osun as well as additional corps members for Lagos
State was planned to hold from 1st to 22nd September,
2014 under Stream II of the 2014 Batch ‘B’,’’ it said
