NYSC Shuts Down All Orientation Camps Over Fear of Coronavirus

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has taken the drastic measure of shutting down all its orientation camps across the country due to the growing fear of the coronavirus pandemic.

According to a statement released by the NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, the decision was taken to ensure the safety and well-being of the corps members and staff.

The statement read: "In line with the guidelines and protocols set by the Federal Ministry of Health and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the NYSC has decided to shut down all its orientation camps nationwide."

The NYSC had earlier suspended the orientation exercise for the 2020 Batch 'A' corps members, which was scheduled to commence on March 23, 2020. However, the latest decision means that all orientation camps will remain closed until further notice.

The NYSC has also directed all corps members and staff to stay at home and avoid any gatherings or social events that could increase the risk of transmission of the virus.

The decision has been welcomed by many Nigerians, who have expressed concern about the potential risks of the coronavirus spreading in the crowded orientation camps.

The NYSC has also set up a task force to monitor the situation and provide updates on any developments.

In the meantime, the NYSC has advised corps members and staff to follow the guidelines and protocols set by the Federal Ministry of Health and the NCDC to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The shutdown of the orientation camps is a significant blow to the NYSC, which relies heavily on the camps to induct and train new corps members. However, the decision is seen as a necessary measure to protect the health and safety of all stakeholders.

The NYSC has promised to provide regular updates on the situation and will announce when the orientation camps will reopen.
