The Federal Government has ordered the immediate closure of the ongoing National Youth Corps Service (NYSC) orientation camps nationwide as parts of measures to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
The orientation camp for the 2020 Batch A Stream One NYSC members opened on March 10 and was expected to last three weeks.
But the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, today, said the NYSC members would be released to resume at their places of primary assignment.
He tweeted that the closure was a precautionary measure on coronavirus.
“Today across the country, the NYSC Orientation camps will be closed and Youth Corpers will be paid and sent to their places of primary assignment.
“This again is a precautionary measure on the part of the government to check the spread of COVID-19. The DG NYSC will provide details,” he stated.
