NYSC Cancels Orientation Over Ebola

The National Youth Service Corps has cancelled the orientation
programme for the 2014 Batch "B" corps members in compliance with the
directive of the Federal Government that schools should not reopen now
in order to check the spread of the Ebola virus.

The cancellation is contained in a statement signed by the Chief
Public Relations Officer of the NYSC in Osun State, Mrs. Christy
Olatoye, and made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on
Saturday.

It asked prospective corps members deployed in the state to visit the
NYSC Orientation Camp in Ede between September 1 and 8 for
registration.

The NYSC also directed that corps members who had no bank account
prior to this time should open one and give the details to the camp
during registration.

Olatoye stressed that none of them would be allowed to stay back at
the camp after registration.

She said corps members were expected to report to the secretariat in
Osogbo from September 15th to 19th for their posting to places of
primary assignment.
