NYSC Official Updates: Notice to Corps Members

National Youth Service Corps, NYSC notice board – Get latest updates from the NYSC Management here.
Updates: NYSC 2016 Batch A Stream I Camp Date.
The NYSC 2016 Batch A Stream I Camp date has been shifted to 1st April 2016 instead of 30th March because of public holiday. NYSC management apologises for any inconveniences this may cause to the PCM and the general public. This new change does not affect Stream II. For more, check: NYSC Batch ‘A’ Mobilization Exercise Timetable.
To 2015 Batch ‘A’ Corps members.
The attention of the NYSC Management has been drawn to a statement purportedly issued at the instance of the Director-General that final clearance for 2015 Batch ‘A’ Corps members holds from 15th to 18th March, 2016 after which they are to proceed on a 3-week terminal leave.
Management notes with serious concern that the statement, issued by one Matt Buhari Nzekanze, who claims to be Special Assistant to the DG on publicity, is already being shared among Corps members, especially through WhatsApp.
We wish to warn that the statement is not from the National Youth Service Corps and should, therefore, be disregarded.
For the avoidance of doubt, the said Matt Buhari Nzekanze is not a member of staff of the NYSC, but obviously a mischief maker who is out to create confusion among patriotic and law-abiding members of the service corps.
Management further wishes to inform Corps members of the 2015 Batch ‘A’ that the time-table for their winding-up and passing-out activities will be unveiled at the appropriate time through credible channels.
We, therefore, urge them to remain calm, go about their normal businesses, and await communication from Management on the issue of winding-up/passing-out.

JAMB Expresses Regret Over Technical Issues Ecountered In Some Exam Centres

The Coordinator of the National Headquarters Annex, Lagos of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Beatrice Okorie, has expressed regret over the technical issues encounter in some centres in the ongoing UTME.
According to her, most of the technical issues encountered were unforeseen circumstances and could happen anywhere and to anyone.
“We, indeed, regret the entire challenges because we mean well for the Nigerian-child. “We, however, must realize that these facilities are machines and can breakdown without warning. “Computers and generators are machines, just like cars.
“You can service your car today and take it out but on the way it can develop another fault. “We actually went round for accreditation and a routine check of the various centres and their facilities before accreditation for the examination, which commenced on February 27.”
She further stated that no candidate participating in the ongoing UTME would suffer any penalties as a result of such issues and mentioned that the board has rectified the issues in the affected centres.
She added that there will be an improvement in the conduct of the Computer Based Test by 2017.

A victim of the robbers toldTheNationthat students were under constant fear since the current semester in the school.
She said the first attack on her was in February when her lodge was burgled when the students were away to lectures.

She also added that the second experience was two weeks ago as she was coming back from evening class when the hoodlums on a bike snatched her hand bag and made away with her property.

A security official who pleaded anonymity confirmed the attack but said their hands are tied since the incidents did not occur within the school.

The security man maintained that the snatching of bags, handsets and way laying students on the way were new developments in the community.
According to him, “the next option is for the school authorities to liaise with the Agulu community vigilante group unit to protect the students within the hostel community from these hoodlums."

LASU students raise alarm over insecurity in school vicinity

The Lagos State University Students’ Union (LASUSU) president, Tayo Sekoni has spoken out on a looming crisis within the school vicinity and why the students may start wielding weapons.
While lamenting the state of insecurity in Lagos state, Sekoni stated that some of his colleagues were held hostage for several days without proactive measures put in place to curb a recurrence.
In a statement made available to Naij.com, the students’ leader noted,“Are we going to wait until we witness an abduction of Chibok magnitude before we act? This is a state that its Governor ‘claimed’ to have spent hundreds of millions of naira on security.
“Despite these huge figures, we still can’t guarantee concrete security for students across the state. This is totally unacceptable!
“More worrisome, is the continuous ethnic clash in Lagos that has continued unabated.”
While accusing the governor of not being totally in control of the state, the students also explained the security threats posed to the entire LASU community based on the present reality in Lagos.
“LASU is very close to Alaba-Rago which accommodates some violent elements. These unscrupulous elements have taken over much of LASU lands for planting of vegetables and illegal erection of shops.
“It is very much imperative at this juncture to recall that, over 10 years ago, when an ethnic crisis of this magnitude hit Lagos, LASU students suffered greatly,”the statement read further.
“And as good students of History, we won’t allow such to repeat itself. Never!!! In this regard, If the present crisis continues to rage and it extends to Alaba-Rago, then LASU students will be exposed to dangers that may force over 60,000 LASUITES to arm and defend themselves.
“We beseech Governor Ambode,as a matter of urgency, to sit tight,act fast and put in place proactive measures on these issues before LASU students are forced to defend themselves; in the face of any threat to their lives, and properties,”the statement added.
