The authorities of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have barred unvaccinated corps members from gaining access to orientation camps.
This was announced by the Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, in his nationwide virtual address to the 2021 Batch “C” Stream Two corps members and camp officials on Monday, December 13.
He said:
“We want to ensure that we adhere strictly to the non-pharmaceutical protocols of COVID-19.”
He warned that there is nothing like two weeks break after leaving the Orientation Camp.
Ibrahim advised corps member to add value to themselves by acquiring skills that would make them business owners, instead of seeking for the scarcely available salaried jobs.
He added:
“We have NYSC Corps Lodges, Secretariats and Army barracks, find out where they are and make sure you pass the night there for journeys that will take you beyond six to get to your destination.”
