No vaccination, no access to orientation camps — NYSC DG tells prospective Corps members

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has declared that prospective corps members without evidence of vaccination would be barred from entering any of its orientation camps across the nation.

Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, NYSC DG, who announced this, said the measure will take effect from the next orientation camp, which is a few weeks from now.

He made the assertion while addressing the 2021 Batch “C” Stream Two Corps Members and Camp Officials.

Explaining why the scheme is taking such action, the NYSC DG said it was to stem the spread of the Omicron COVID variant.

Ibrahim also warned the Corps member against travelling at night. He advised “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”.
