Eight
hundred and two corps members of the 1, 750 posted to Plateau State
have been redeployed. But 30 have decided to stay back.
Speaking
yesterday at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Batch ‘B’ orientation
course held at the temporary orientation camp, Bukuru, the Coordinator,
Mr. Maram Maful, said the 802 included married women, expectant and
nursing mothers as well as those that applied for redeployment.
He said 30 of them have submitted letters to withdraw their redeployment, while others are still contemplating.
Maful
added that the request would be forwarded to the National Youth Service
Corps (NYSC) headquarters. He urged those who would stay back to
participate in individual and group projects.
According
to him, no corps member would be posted to crisis-prone areas except if
the spouse of a married corps member is in such area.
Governor
Jonah Jang represented by the Commissioner for Youth Development Lohfa
Bako assured them that the government would give them protection
throughout their service year.
