The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has redeployed 400 corps members from the 2023 "Batch C stream 1" orientation exercise from Zamfara to Sokoto and Kebbi states.

"The corps members from Zamfara have been redeployed to Sokoto and Kebbi States," NYSC coordinator in Zamfara Abdulsalam Alhassan told journalists in Gusau on Tuesday.

"The corps members will have their orientation course in the orientation camps in Sokoto and Kebbi," he added.

Mr Alhassan praised the Zamfara administration for its generous contribution to the scheme.

"We are extremely grateful to the state government for its ongoing projects, including the complete renovation of our permanent orientation camp in Tsafe Local Government Area."

"We also thank the state government for restoring monthly allowances for corps members serving in the civil service of the state," Mr Alhassan added.

On Saturday, August 17, gunmen kidnapped eight NYSC personnel on a highway near Zamfara.

When the corps members from Akwa Ibom were abducted, they were travelling in an Akwa Ibom Transport Corporation bus to Sokoto State for their national assignment.
