The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has blacklisted three local government areas in Kebbi State for the posting of corps members.

The State Coordinator, Bala Dabo Kagarko, disclosed this during an interaction with journalists at the temporary NYSC Orientation Camp at Basura, Jega Local Government Area of the state, adding that, “for the safety of corps members, we are not posting them to Augie, Arewa and Sakaba local government areas of the state again.”

He added that the NYSC requested for the relocation of the NYSC orientation camp from Dakingari to a safer place at the Basura temporary camp in Jega Local Government Area of the state, because of insecurity.

He lamented that the number of corps members being posted to the state has dropped drastically.
“We no longer have doctors to post to the state hospitals, not enough corps members to post to schools and other areas where they are needed to contribute to the development of the state,” he said.

“Kebbi now has the least number of corps members in the country. Several appeals have been made to the right quarters, but we are yet to get their response,” the NYSC state coordinator said.
