The management of the National Youth Service Corps, has come out to assure the public and prospective members, that they should be patient over the delay in releasing funds by the federal government, in order to mobilise the next batch of corpers for their orientation programme.
Batch A, Stream II, was scheduled to commence two weeks ago, but was announced as postponed, due to the lack of fund, which led to multiple protests by young graduates, and it also led to rumours arising that President Muhammadu Buhari, had cancelled the programmed in order to reduce government costs.
