Insecurity: NYSC Relocates Kwara Orientation Camp To Ilorin
Due to insecurity, the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has relocated its orientation camp from Yikpata, in Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State to Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin.
Communities in Edu and Patigi local government areas, in the Kwara North Senatorial District, have recently been sacked by armed bandits.
Confirming the relocation, NYSC Kwara State Coordinator Onifade Olaoluwa Joshua, on Thursday, disclosed that it was approved by the state government following rising insecurity in the area.
Onifade revealed that soldiers and other security forces will be deployed to guarantee the safety of corps members during the three-week orientation exercise.
“We are fully prepared to host the orientation course and the welfare of participants will be safeguarded,” he added.
The coordinator said corps members are expected to report between September 24 and October 14, 2025, while a delegation from NYSC headquarters will inspect the temporary venue in Ilorin.
