to hold its planned orientation course.
“Consequently, management of the scheme has scheduled the 2016

“Prospective corps members are expected to log on to the NYSC

various institutions of graduation.”
The NYSC management commended prospective corps members for
exercising patience, while wishing them a hitch free orientation
exercise.

It was later disclosed that it was postponed for lack of funds.
Once again, it was rescheduled to May 21. But, on Thursday, May 19, it was announced that it had been postponed and a new date would be announced in due time.
