The decision follows a surge in attacks by armed bandits in communities across Edu and Patigi local government areas within the Kwara North Senatorial District.
NYSC State Coordinator, Onifade Olaoluwa Joshua, confirmed the development on Thursday, stating that the relocation was approved by the state government in response to the growing insecurity in the affected region.
According to him, the decision became necessary after security concerns were raised by perpetrators and enemies of progress.
Onifade revealed that soldiers and other security forces will be deployed to guarantee the safety of corps members during the three-week orientation exercise.
“We are fully prepared to host the orientation course and the welfare of participants will be safeguarded,” he added.
The coordinator said corps members are expected to report between September 24 and October 14, 2025, while a delegation from NYSC headquarters will inspect the temporary venue in Ilorin.
