The NYSC said today in a statement in Abuja that only those with \u201cgenuine information on either health or marriage\u201d would be considered for redeployment outside the the Boko Haram ravaged states.<\/p>\n
In the last few days, the House of Representatives had called on the NYSC not to post members to troubled states, while some graduates posted to volatile cities have expressed dread.<\/p>\n
The NYSC minimized the potential threat to members’\u00a0 lives maintaining that\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 state governments and the NYSC have put in place \u201cmeasures to guarantee the security to lives and properties of corps members deployed to camps for the on-going orientation course.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the statement, signed by the head of the NYSC\u2019s Press and Public Relations Unit, Mrs. Abosede O. Aderibigbe, .<\/p>\n
Even then, \u201cThose who have genuine reasons to seek for relocation out of their states of posting, should register first in their states of deployment and then submit application there for consideration,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Aderibigbe did not explain what the NYSC means by \u201cguarantee\u201d of security.
\nMany members of the corps were killed last year in the North in the violence that followed the presidential elections. The federal government never specifically stated the number of those killed, which was thought to be about 20.
\n[Full text of the statement]:<\/p>\n
SAFETY OF 2012 BATCH \u2018B\u2019 CORPS MEMBERS GUARRANTEED<\/p>\n
This is to inform all 2012 Batch \u2018B\u2019 Corps Members and the general public that state governments and the NYSC operators have put in place measures to guarantee the security to lives and properties of corps members deployed to camps for the on-going Orientation course. Prospective corps members should therefore proceed to their respective camps for induction into the noble scheme.<\/p>\n
2. However, those who have genuine reasons to seek for relocation out of their states of posting, should register first in their states of deployment and then submit application there for consideration. The two grounds for consideration remain marital (for those who are married) and Health (for those with extreme medical ailments)<\/p>\n
3. Please note that no request for change of posting to deployed states will be attended to at the Directorate Headquarters, Abuja as state coordinators have been empowered to attend to Relocation Requests in their states.<\/p>\n
4. Thank you<\/p>\n
