The National Youth Service Corps has said it does not have plans to reopen orientation camps until it is absolutely safe to do so.
The NYSC, revealed this in a statement on Thursday by its Director, Press and Public Relations, Adenike Adeyemi, that any report circulating about its reopening is false.
She said, “To put issues in proper perspective, it is appropriate to state that the National Youth Service Corps will only return to the orientation camps when it is very safe to do so, in view of the danger posed by COVID – 19 pandemic.
“The scheme places very high premium on the lives of corps members, camp officials and other stakeholders which was the key reason it suspended 2020 Batch “A” Stream 1 orientation programme in March this year.”
Adeyemi added that it would act on reopening when it gets the go-ahead from the Federal Government.
“Accordingly, corps members and prospective corps members are advised to glean information concerning the scheme only from NYSC official sources – both the social and mainstream media.”
