Reps urge NYSC to stop deployment of corps members to Plateau State

Category:


The House of Representatives has passed a resolution calling on the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) to re-deploy the 2010 Batch ‘A' corps members to neighbouring states, pending the restoration of peace in Plateau State. The House also urged the NYSC not to punish any corps member who has yet to report to the orientation camp in Plateau.

Already, 902 of the 1,202 corps members deployed to Plateau State for the Batch ‘A' 2010 service were on Thursday sworn-in at the Jos Temporary Orientation Camp. The Plateau State governor, Jonah Jang, represented by the state chairman of the NYSC Governing Board, James Bakfur, assured the corps members of maximum security and peaceful service during their stay.

The House of Representative's resolution was sequel to a motion by Ekperikpe Ekpo (PDP Akwa Ibom), which was unanimously adopted by members when put to vote by Speaker, Dimeji Bankole.

Corps members serving in the state that was trapped in a recent mayhem, were evacuated and sent to their respective states of origin.
