Following an open letter addressed to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) asking it to not force Corps Members back to the orientation camp, the Corps has said it was a responsible organisation which prioritises the safety of Corps Members.

Responding, the Management of the NYSC admitted that the open letter expressed ‘genuine concern’ but noted that it did not consider facts on ground.

“It is imperative to state that the National Youth Service Corps is a responsible and responsive institution which gives topmost priority to the lives of Corps Members as a matter of policy.

“It was for that reason Management suspended the 2020 Batch ‘A’ Stream 1 Orientation Course in order to safeguard the lives of Corps Members as well as camp officials,” the statement read.

The NYSC said it would not compromise the safety of the safety and health of Corps Member. It added that the directive for the re-opening of orientation camp would be given when relevant bodies gave approval.

“In light of the foregoing, Management wishes to state that 2020 Batch ‘A’ Stream 1 Corps Members can only go back to the Orientation camps when the National Centre for Disease Control and Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 give nod to institutions to recommence their normal activities.”
