Unvaccinated Corps Members Barred From NYSC Camps

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that it will be barring unvaccinated corps members from all of its camps.

This was announced by Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, NYSC DG while addressing 2021 Batch “C” Stream Two Corps Members and Camp Officials. He said the measure will take effect from the next orientation camp, which will be in a few weeks time from now.

He added that prospective corps members will now need to show evidence of vaccination from coronavirus before they would be allowed to register.

The Director-General said the scheme was by this trying to be careful not to allow the spread of the COULD or its variant owing to the detection of the variant Virus in the country.

He has therefore warned that there is nothing like two weeks break after leaving the Orientation Camp, urging corps members to add value to themselves by acquiring skills that would make them business owners, instead of seeking the scarcely available salaried jobs.

Ibrahim while warning Corp members to avoid embarking on the night and unauthorized journeys, but break any journey extending beyond 6:00 pm and pass the night in a safe place he said:

“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.”
