The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has assured university graduates that it has made necessary arrangements to ensure eligible prospective corps members, are mobilised in the next service year. In a chat with newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday, the Director General of the NYSC, Brigadier-General Sule Kazaure, disclosed that 2016 Batch ‘B’ stream 1 will commence orientation exercise on the 24th of November while stream 2 are expected to commence orientation in January 2017. THE DG SAID, “IN THE 2016 BUDGET, PROVISION WAS MADE FOR THE MOBILISATION OF A TOTAL OF 210,000 CORPS MEMBERS. HOWEVER, THE FIGURE FOR BOTH 2016 BATCH ‘A’ AND BATCH ‘B’ HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED THE ORIGINAL PROJECTION,” HE SAID. “Like we did before the 2016 Batch ‘A’ orientation course, we have appealed to the government for special intervention grant to mop up excess of this figure. “So far, we have received the green light from the relevant government agencies to prepare for the mobilisation of all qualified prospective corps members. “However, the limited cumulative capacity of the orientation camps nationwide necessitates a second stream orientation course for the 2016 Batch ‘B’ which is planned for January 2017,” he added.
