Kubiangha Outlines Expectations for 2026 Batch 'B' Stream II PCMs
The NYSC Osun State Coordinator,Mr Ekeng Ita Kubiangha, has charged the 2026 Batch 'B' Stream II Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) deployed to Osun State and those dislodged from Lagos State to uphold discipline, maintain exemplary conduct, and adhere strictly to the rules guiding the Orientation Course.
He gave the charge on Thursday during a briefing held at the Multi-purpose Hall of the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Ede, as part of activities for the 21-day Orientation Course.
Welcoming the Prospective Corps Members, Mr. Kubiangha thanked God for granting them the privilege of successfully completing their tertiary education and commended them for their orderly conduct since arriving at the Camp. He also appreciated Camp Officials and members of staff involved in registration, logistics, welfare, and other support services for their dedication to ensuring a seamless Orientation Course.
He warned the Corps Members against theft and other acts of misconduct, stressing that anyone found guilty of stealing would be decamped and subjected to appropriate disciplinary measures. He also advised them to exercise prudence while patronising the Camp market and cautioned against buying goods on credit.
Speaking on welfare Kubiangha explained the meal arrangements at the Camp and reminded Corps Members of their responsibilities during platoon kitchen duties. He further emphasised the importance of personal hygiene, urging them to keep their hostels and surroundings clean while using water responsibly.
He clarified that relocation and posting under the NYSC Scheme are completely free of charge, warning Corps Members not to pay any Official or individual for such services. He also assured them that all mandatory NYSC kits would be provided accordingly.
The Coordinator enlightened the Corps Members on the four cardinal programmes of the NYSC Scheme, namely the Orientation Course, Primary Assignment, Community Development Service (CDS), and the Winding-up and Passing-out activities. He reminded them that only authorised Officers are permitted to speak with the media on behalf of the Scheme and urged them to remain security conscious, dress decently, safeguard their personal belongings, and conduct themselves responsibly throughout the service year.
On healthcare, Kubiangha encouraged the Prospective Corps Members to make full use of the Camp Clinic whenever necessary, assuring them that personnel of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), medical doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals were on ground to provide quality medical services.
He also explained the recognised religious organisations on Camp, namely: the Nigeria Christian Corpers Fellowship (NCCF) for Pentecostals and orthodox members; National Association of Catholic Corps Members (NACC); and the Muslim Corps Members Association of Nigeria (MCAN) and highlighted their approved activities within the Camp community.
Kubiangha informed the Corps Members that the Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, was expected to preside over the Swearing-in Ceremony and urged them to demonstrate maximum discipline and cooperation during the event.
A major highlight of the programme was the formal introduction of principal Camp Officials to the Prospective Corps Members, acquainting them with Officers responsible for the administration and smooth coordination of the Orientation Course.
The briefing concluded with a vote of thanks delivered on behalf of the Prospective Corps members by PCM Paul Demilade Racheal, with State Code LA/26B/14480, after which the Corps Members gave three hearty cheers in honour of the State Coordinator.
