No camp in Benue, Taraba; NYSC.

The National Youth service corps today, announced that there would be no orientation at their Benue and Taraba camps as earlier revealed. The reason for this impromptu decision could be due to the recent killings in Benue state, making it unsafe for the prospective corps members. Taraba is included, due to the fact it is a state only linked by Benue, therefore also making it unsafe for camping and mobilization. However, they have assured the prospective corp members that a new date would be announced in due time.

The announcement was made on their official twitter page and this met a lot negative responses from the individuals involved. This is coming after an earlier announcement was made about streamlining the states available for camping to a total of 15, which include Lagos, Oyo, and the FCT.
