The National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) in Lagos State has assured the incoming 2018 Batch “B” corps members of its preparedness for their orientation which would start on July 24.

Mr Muhammed Momoh, the State Coordinator of the NYSC, gave the assurance in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Lagos.

Momoh said that the NYSC secretariat and the state government were ready to receive and orientate about 2,700 corps members that would be posted to the state for the exercise.

“We are expecting 2,700 corps members, and we have made adequate preparations for their welfare.

“The camp has been fully prepared to receive them as renovation of camp facilities by the Lagos State Government (LASG) had been completed.

“The contractor handed over the project to the state government on Monday,” he said.

The state coordinator also said that the NYSC’s staff members and other stakeholders had been sensitised on how they should conduct themselves during the orientation at the camp.

“Both our personnel and other stakeholders, such as the military personnel have been sensitised and they have been mobilized to ensure a successful orientation course.

“We are conducting pre-orientation meetings to ensure that all stakeholders understand their roles in order to ensure a successful orientation course,” he said.

He advised the prospective corps members to be of good conduct and obey all camp rules during the orientation and throughout their service year.
