300 Corps Members Withdraw Relocation Applications From Anambra

The National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) says no fewer than 300 corps members have withdrawn their applications for relocation to serve outside Anambra State.
Coordinator of NYSC in the state, Mr Kehinde Aremu, said this during the cultural carnival held for 2018 Batch B Stream Two Corps members at the Umunya Temporary Orientation Camp, Oyi Council Area, yesterday.
Aremu, who said the scheme had received about 600 of such applications, attributed it to fears the corps members had about the state before coming to camp. He said the withdrawal of the transfer applications was due to the interaction which the NYSC created between the corps members , community leaders and local government administrators.
He said the process of acculturation had been so effective that they were now relaxed and ready to contribute their quota to the development of the communities where they would be posted for primary assignment.
The coordinator said the corps members were able to study, understand and display the rich and diverse cultural groups in Nigeria excellently within such a short time of being together.
“The bonding is great both among the corps members and between the corps members and the communities.
