No fewer than 1,750 Corps members have been deployed to Bauchi state for the 2021 Batch B, Stream 1 orientation exercises, Aliyu Suleiman, the state spokesperson of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, said on Monday.
In an interview with newsmen in Bauchi, Mr Suleiman said orientation for the corps members will hold from July 27 to Aug. 16, at the state permanent orientation camp, Wailo, in Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the state.
He added that due to the need to comply with COVID-19 protocols, only 200 people would be allowed for registration per day.
“With the compliance of COVID-19 protocols put in place, they will be divided in such a way that the place will not be crowded and they will be making use of face masks and hand sanitizer at all times”, he said.
