In Abia State, the orientation course will be held at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Umunna, Bende Local Government Area.
The statement added that Governor Alex Otti is expected to preside over the swearing-in ceremony, while the Chief Judge of Abia State, Justice Lilian Abai, will administer the Oath of Allegiance to the prospective corps members.
It further directed corps employers in need of corps members to submit their requests to the State Coordinator, NYSC Abia State Secretariat Complex, opposite the Central Bank of Nigeria, Umuahia, through the Local Government Inspector in their respective LGAs.
The NYSC also stated that prospective corps members residing in Abia but deployed to other states due to severe medical conditions could report at the Abia Orientation Camp for registration, provided they present convincing evidence of their medical conditions.

The NYSC urged prospective corps members to avoid night journeys and, where necessary, break their journeys by 6:00pm. They were also advised to carefully read their call-up letters and ensure they have all required documents before travelling to camp.
The statement stressed that no prospective corps member would be registered without the original qualifying certificates or required documents.
