Adeyemi said that current security situation in the state and the consequent curfew imposed by the state government forced the scheme to take the decision to suspend orientation in the state.
The statement, however, advised other prospective corps members deployed to other states and the FCT, to report at their various orientation camps on Tuesday Oct. 23, as scheduled.
It would be recalled that the Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai had on Sunday imposed a 24-hour curfew on Kaduna town and its environs following violent clashes that erupted in Kasuwar Magani area of the state on Friday in which 55 people have been confirmed dead.
