The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has resumed orientation of Corp members in Adamawa State after three years suspension.
According to reports, the last orientation exercise was held in March 2013 due to insecurity caused by the Boko Haram insurgency in the state.
Speaking with newsmen in Yola, the State Coordinator of NYSC, Mohammed Abubakar, said that 2, 500 corps members were deployed to the state.
He explained that Adamawa State Government had provided the facility of Adamawa State Polytechnic, Yola, as a temporary camp pending the final evacuation of the Internally Displaced Persons at the permanent orientation camp in Damare.
Abubakar said that adequate security has been put in place with about 300 officials from the Army, Police, Department of State Security, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corp.
While lauding Adamawa government for it support towards a successful orientation, the coordinator urged the people of Adamawa State to continue to support and show hospitality to Corp members.
