The Anambra State Coordinator of the NYSC, Mr. Joseph Abu, who stated this at the close of the Batch ‘C’ orientation camp on Friday said that NYSC had stopped posting corps members to local governments.
Abu said two corps members, who were seriously injured in the tree branch crash incident, were rushed to the camp clinic.
The corps members were being lectured by the Resident Electoral Commission, Prof. Onukogu, when the incident happened.
He said the incident has made it imperative for the authorities to build a multipurpose hall in the camp to host lectures.
Abu,at the closing ceremonies of the Batch C of the 2010 corps members orientation ceremonies, said 1,297 corps members successfully passed through the exercise in Anambra State.
He said the decision to stop posting corps members to local governments was informed by the fact that the local governments were underutilising the services of corps members.
The coordinator said that corps members would be posted mainly to teach in secondary schools.
He said the NYSC was collaborating with the State Post-Primary Schools Commission to equitably spread out the posting to areas of need.
The NYSC coordinator said the Umunya community had donated 150 acres of land for the development of the permanent site of the NYSC orientation camp.
