The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) camp in Mangu has been relocated temporarily near Waye Foundation in Jos South Local Government Area.
The NYSC Director of Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, disclosed this in a statement on Monday, adding that the permanent orientation camp in Mangu will, for the time being, no longer serve as the venue for the orientation course for prospective corps members.
On the contrary, Megwa said the camping exercise will temporarily take place at Waye Foundation
The change in orientation camp followed incessant attacks by gunmen killing several individuals in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The statement said the new camp is located by Buken Academy Doi-Du, in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Megwa said “All prospective corps members are, by this information, expected to report at the new orientation camp (Waye Foundation by Buken Academy) on the dates specified in their call-up letters.
“The decision to change the venue of the orientation camp effectively demonstrates the authorities’ commitment to the safety and well-being of corps members.
“By relocating to a more secure area, the NYSC aims to lessen potential risks and establish a conducive environment for the corps members to undergo their orientation training.
“The NYSC remains unwavering in its dedication to the safety and well-being of corps members.”
