The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has deployed 1,487 corps members to Gombe State for the 2023 Batch “C” Stream I orientation exercise.

Jennifer Laha, Public Relations Officer, NYSC, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Gombe.

Laha said the corps members are expected to report to the NYSC Temporary Orientation Camp, Amada Community in Akko Local Government Area of the state.

The statement partly reads: “In Gombe State, the course is scheduled to be held at the NYSC temporary orientation camp, Science Technical College, Amada, Akko  LGA and a total of 1487 prospective corps members are deployed to the state.

“The formal opening/Swearing-in ceremony comes up on Tuesday, November 7th, 2023, at 10:00 am. The Governor of Gombe state, Muhammadu Yahaya, is expected to preside over the event while the Chief Judge of the state will administer the oath of allegiance to the corps members deployed to the state for national service.”

She advised the prospective corps members to ensure early arrival at the camp while assuring that all arrangements had been put in place to ensure a hitch-free exercise in the state.

“I wish to also advise all prospective corps members to avoid night journeys and to board buses or cars at approved motor parks,” she said.

Laya appealed to the good people of Gombe State to accord the prospective corps members the usual hospitality that the state was known for.
