According to him, the programme is structured to equip participants with essential skills such as paramilitary drills, leadership training, and other activities designed to promote unity, discipline, and self-reliance among Nigerian youths.
“The 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II Orientation Course will commence on April 24, and all prospective corps members are advised to fully comply with directives issued by the scheme,” he said.
Kubiangha further urged stakeholders to collaborate with the NYSC to ensure the smooth and successful conduct of the orientation exercise within the stipulated period.
