COVID-19: FG To Shut NYSC Orientation Camps On Condition

The Federal Government says it will close any National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Orientation Camp where the state government does not comply with all the COVID-19 protocols.

Minister of Youths and Sports, Sunday Dare, said this while addressing journalists at the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 national briefing on Monday in Abuja.

He added that over 700 corps members from the current batch tested positive for COVID-19.

“It has become necessary that all safety protocols be adhered to. Any orientation camp that is not obeying the protocol will simply be closed as the NYSC cannot afford to risk the lives and health of corps members,” Dare said.

The minister said that corps members who might be affected if the camps get shut would be reposted to adjoining states.
