The NYSC Coordinator in the FCT, Mr Frank Ekpunobi, on Tuesday assured corps members of adequate security in the territory.
Ekpunobi gave the assurance when speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) during the second day of registration exercise at the Kubwa Orientation Camp, FCT.
He said that with the presence of the military, police and other security agencies, the corps members should feel secured.
NAN reports at the entrance to the orientation camp, there were large presence of security personnel, who were seen conducting thorough search on persons and vehicles.
The coordinator said that they were expecting 2,800 corps members and that 2,000 had already arrived undergoing registration.
“Those, who are able to complete their registration are being given kits, accommodation and other necessary items and we are also expecting the remaining 800 corps members to be here.
“We enforce strict compliance to camp rules; 12 midnight is the closing period of the camp as the swearing in ceremony comes up on Wednesday.
Ekpunobi said that Abuja had been the most preferred state by the corps members and was not expecting any of the members posted to FCT to seek redeployment.
“Those seeking redeployment will have to obtain a medical report, which will be thoroughly screened by our medical team who will also interview them.
“We allow nursing mothers and pregnant women to attend to their families and come back for the swearing in,'' he said.
