The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has barred
unvaccinated corps members from its camps nationwide.
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.
While addressing 2021 Batch “C” Stream Two Corps Members and
Camp Officials, he said prospective corps members will now need to show
evidence of vaccination from coronavirus before they would be allowed to
register.
The DG said the scheme was trying to be careful not to allow the spread of the disease owing to the detection of the Omicron COVID variant in the country.
He warned that there is nothing like two weeks break after
leaving the Orientation Camp, urging corps member to add value to themselves by
acquiring skills that would make them business owners, instead of seeking for
the scarcely available salaried jobs.
lbrahim also warned them to avoid embarking on night and
unauthorised journeys, but break any journey extending beyond 6:00pm and pass
the night in a safe place.
“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,” he noted.
