The Federal Government yesterday ordered the release of funds for the mobilisation of the 2016 Batch A stream II of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
This followed an outcry by the Director-General, Brigadier-General Sule Kazaure that lack of funds may stall the exercise.
Kazaure on Monday told the Senate Committee on Youth and Sport that the affected persons would remain in their homes due to non-availability of fund arising from the N13 billion shortfall in the scheme’s 2016 allocation.
But the NYSC in a statement signed by the Director, Public Relations Abosede Aderibigbe, praised the Federal Government for its prompt intervention, approval and release of funds to accommodate the 2016 Batch A stream II orientation course.
“Management is also informing and assuring prospective corps members, parents, guardians and the public that the 2016 Batch A stream II orientation course holds from Saturday, May 21 to Monday, June 6, while the swearing-in will hold on Monday, May 23.
“Prospective corps members are by this notice directed to print their call-up letters online or collect from their institutions of graduation,” the statement said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
