The National Youth Service Corps says it plans to resume orientation programme for new corps members in Borno State, 13 years after it was suspended due to the Boko Haram insurgency.
Corps members deployed to the state observed their orientation in Katsina State for several years due to the insurgency.
The Commissioner, Borno State Police Command, Lawal Yusufu, told newsmen at the ad hoc orientation camp located in the Arabic Teachers College, Maiduguri on Monday that the next orientation would be held in the state.
