The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, in a recent social media submission has given a new update to prospective corps members on the reopening of orientation camps across the country.
The statement was issued by the NYSC spokesperson, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi in Abuja on Saturday and shared on their social media pages.
The post was shared on their official Facebook page and it stated that they are waiting for the Federal Government through the PTF to give approval for the reopening of camps.
The statement said;
“It is imperative to state that the Scheme has ensured that all the COVID-19 safety protocols incidental to safe hosting of Orientation programmes are in place in all its 37 Orientation Camps.
Note also that some precautionary safety measures already adopted by the Scheme had earned it the commendation of the PTF.
Management hereby conveys that the news release is fake. Prospective Corps Members and the public are therefore enjoined to kindly disregard the news in its entirety.
While the NYSC sincerely appreciates the patience so far shown by the PCMs who have waited for over six months to be called-up for participation in the Scheme, it equally empathises with them over the unanticipated disruption of their programmes, resulting from COVID-19 pandemic.”
