A News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent who visited the Jos Orientation Camp on Thursday, reports that no fewer than 1,015 out of the 1,211 corps members have registered, with more still arriving.
Some of them said that they were ready to serve their fatherland in Plateau, and that the security problem was a national issue not limited to a particular state.
Joshua Danjuma, a youth corps member from Gombe State, said, "I am not seeking for any redeployment because I have made up my mind that since I've already prepared my mind to serve the country, I will definitely stay and serve.
"My advice to government is to provide adequate security for all Nigerians. It is not only in Plateau."
Yetunde Aluko, a corps member from Osun State, said she would not have considered redeployment but for the pressure from her parents and other family members.
Sam Nkwopara, the Head of Public Relations in Plateau NYSC, said that redeployment forms were given to the entire Batch ‘A' corps members but that less than 400 had indicated their interest to redeploy.
