The minister blamed the accident on the late invitation to camp by the NYSC.

Out of 2,400 members of the National Youth Service Corps in the Batch A deployed to Kano State, about 900 of them have been redeployed to other states due to the current security challenge in the commercial city.

The minister blamed the accident on the late invitation to camp by the NYSC.

The state coordinator of the NYSC in the state, Salisu Yakasai, made this known during the closing ceremony of the Batch A orientation exercise.

The corps members were relocated because of the recent suicide bomb attacks in the state with the latest being the attack at Sabon Gari Luxury Bus Park in Kano city.

Traumatised by the recent attack at the bus park, majority of the fresh graduates sort to be relocated to other parts of the country considered safer for them.

According to Mr. Salisu, the remaining 1,500 corps members would be redeployed to the rural areas of the state as they are relatively safer.

Meanwhile, the state Deputy Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has charged those who stayed back to harness the various job opportunities offered to them in the state, promising that government would do everything to ensure their safety.
