The National Youth Service Corps on Tuesday said the scheme will redeploy corps members who feel unsafe in states where the activities of Fulani herdsmen have led to loss of lives.

Suleiman Kazaure, the director general of the NYSC, said this on Tuesday during the inspection of the NYSC Orientation Camp in Ede, Osun State.

The DG, who was represented by the Director, General Service, Abdulrasak Salawu, said this in an interview with journalists after the inspection.

He said the scheme would not post corps members into areas where they were not sure of their security.

Kazaure, who said he was impressed with the facility and the cleanliness of the NYSC camp in Osun State, said the scheme moved the orientation programme of Taraba and Benue states to Kogi State in order not to cause panic among corps members’ parents and relatives.

He said, “We cannot risk the lives of corps members in Benue and that is why the NYSC orientation camp was relocated from Benue to Kogi State.

“Ordinarily, Kogi and Taraba states corps members were supposed to camp in Benue State but because of this crisis they were moved to Kogi State.

“During the course of the orientation programme, any corps member that writes that he or she felt not secure; we will look into it and redeploy such corps members to another state. We may not redeploy them to the state they want, but we will relocate them.”

The NYSC director had earlier addressed the corps members of Ondo, Ekiti and Osun States who are undergoing their orientation programme in Ede, urging them to always strive to bring unity to the nation.
