Following a series of tragic attacks by gunmen resulting in multiple fatalities in the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has made a significant decision. The venue for the 2023 Batch ‘B’ Stream One Orientation Camp in Plateau State will be relocated.

In an official statement released by the NYSC Director of Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, it was announced that the permanent orientation camp in Mangu will no longer be used for the orientation course of prospective corps members. Instead, the camping exercise will temporarily take place at Waye Foundation, situated near Buken Academy Doi-Du in the Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State. This new location has been designated as the interim NYSC orientation camp.

Megwa emphasized that all prospective corps members should report to the new orientation camp, Waye Foundation by Buken Academy, on the dates specified in their call-up letters. The decision to change the venue was made with the utmost concern for the safety and well-being of corps members. By relocating to a more secure area, the NYSC aims to minimize potential risks and establish a conducive environment for the orientation training.

The NYSC remains fully committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all corps members, and this decision reaffirms their dedication to this cause.
