Breaking: NYSF Shuts Down All Orientation Camps Over Fear of Coronavirus
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSF) has taken the drastic measure of shutting down all its orientation camps across the country due to the growing concerns over the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
According to reports, the decision was taken after a meeting between the NYSF management and the Federal Ministry of Health, where it was agreed that the camps posed a high risk of transmission of the virus.
The orientation camps, which are usually the first point of call for newly mobilized corps members, were scheduled to commence on March 23, 2020. However, with the shutdown, the camps will not open as planned.
The NYSF has instead directed corps members to report to their respective states for further instructions. The agency has also set up a task force to monitor the situation and provide updates on the next line of action.
This decision comes as Nigeria has recorded a surge in COVID-19 cases, with the number of confirmed cases now standing at over 100. The government has implemented various measures to contain the spread of the virus, including restricting travel, closing schools, and banning large gatherings.
The shutdown of the NYSF orientation camps is seen as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the virus among corps members and other stakeholders involved in the orientation process.
