Bad News For NYSC 2016 Batch A Stream II Orientation Programme

The Director General of the National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.-Gen. Sulyman
Kazaure has revealed that lack of funds may
hinder the mobilization of 2016 Batch A Stream
(II) prospective Corps members for orientation
which was supposed to commence on Friday
20th, 2016.
The Director General who disclosed this during
an interactive session with the senate committee
on Sports in Abuja stated that the reason behind
this is the fact that the money required for the
exercise has not been provided by the federal
Government even after several letters have been
written to the appropriate agencies and even the
presidency.
He however expressed hope that the Federal
Government may make a last minute effort in
providing the urgent and much needed fund for
the programme.
In response, the Chairman of the senate
committee, Sen. Obinna Ogba (PDP Ebonyi
Central) assured the DG of senate's intervention
on the issue stating that the problem will be
tackled quickly by the Federal Government using
every option available as NYSC is not something
to joke with.
