The management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has said the second batch of corps members posted to Benue State for this year’s Batch ‘A’ will resume at the camp on June 2, instead of May 5 in their call-up letters.
In a statement yesterday in Abuja by its Director of Public Relations, Bose Aderibigbe, the NYSC said the orientation course at the Benue camp, like in some other states, was planned to hold in two streams.
The statement said the Stream I is scheduled to take place from May 5 to 25 and Stream II from June 2nd to 22.
It explained that the Corps members assigned for the Stream II in Benue reported at the Camp between May 5 and 6, instead of their scheduled date of June 2 because of an error on their call-up letters.
The NYSC added that the affected Corps members, who were originally scheduled to participate in the Stream II of the orientation course in Benue State, had been paid their transport fare to and fro the orientation camp, in line with their entitlements in the present circumstance.
It said: “This is to enable them travel back home and return to camp on Tuesday, June 2.
