Why 281 coppers were sent out of camp.

281 fake corps members were sent out of the
Niger State orientation camp in Paiko after
failing to provide authentic documents.

Disclosing this yesterday, August 26, at the close of
the three weeks orientation exercise, at the camp, the
National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) Coordinator
in the State, Mr. Steven Ehoda-adi, said the fake
corps members who had nothing to show that they
were qualified for admission into the camp, were
immediately sent away.
Mr Steven said some of the corps members claimed to
have been attacked by armed robbers on their way to
Minna and their call up letters taken away from them
while some said they misplaced their call up letter.
He added that some others presented only
photocopies of the call up letter which according to
him is not accepted by NYSC authority.
He explained that 230 corps members who were
pregnant and nursing mothers were disallowed from
taking part in routine orientation exercise in the
state.
Leadership reports that the NYSC state coordinator
disclosed that 3,259 of the Batch B corps members,
2014, successfully, completed the exercise for their
primary assignment in the state.
Brig Gen Johnson Olawumi, the Director General of
the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), suspended
the orientation programme of the 2014 Batch 'B'
corps members in six states namely Adamawa,
Bauchi, Jigawa, Borno, Gombe, and Yobe States,
over Ebola outbreak.
The NYSC Scheme is for those who have graduated
from tertiary institution and for you to partake, a call
up letter will be sent to your school. The NYSC
scheme has 3 stages, first is a 3 week orientation
camp, the Community Development Services (done
once a week), and The Place of Primary
Assignments, (where each corp member is posted to
after the orientation camp and where he is to serve
for one year).
Currently, there are 3 batches of corps members every
year. The Batch A usually starts from around
February period. B people starts around June/July,
and C October/November.
