NYSC Shuts Down Orientation Camps Over Coronavirus Fears

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced the closure of its orientation camps across the country due to concerns over the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). The decision was made after a meeting with the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and other stakeholders.

According to a statement released by the NYSC, the closure is effective immediately and will remain in place until further notice. The decision was taken to ensure the safety and well-being of corps members, camp officials, and other stakeholders.

The NYSC orientation camps were scheduled to reopen on March 23, 2023, after a brief closure due to the pandemic. However, the recent surge in COVID-19 cases and the emergence of new variants have prompted the authorities to take this precautionary measure.

The NYSC has advised corps members to remain at home and follow all guidelines and protocols issued by the government and health authorities to prevent the spread of the virus. The organization has also assured that all necessary arrangements will be made to ensure that corps members are not disadvantaged by the closure.

This decision is in line with the government's efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and protect the public from the virus.
