A total of 1,277 of the 2,150 corps
members posted to Kano State for the 2012 ‘Batch B service year have so far
been redeployed to other states.
The state NYSC Coordinator, Alhaji Bashir
Yakasai, disclosed this in an interview in Kano on Monday.
He said that of those, who sought
redeployment, 1,108 were posted to other states on health grounds and for
security reasons, while the remaining 169 were re-deployed on marital ground.
He, however, said that the state NYSC had
also received more than 50 corps members re-deployed from other states to Kano.
On the issue of rejection, the coordinator
said that the number so far rejected by employers was negligible considering
the number of corps members, who relocated to other states.
“With the population of Kano, the
remaining 873 corps members are grossly inadequate to cater for the state,” he
said.
The coordinator, however, assured the
corps members serving in the state of adequate security during their one year
stay in the state.
Yakasai commended the state government for
giving support to the scheme and called on individuals and corporate
organisations to contribute towards the success of the scheme in the state.
