FG to restrict unvaccinated corps members from access camps nationwide

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that it will henceforth bar unvaccinated corps members from accessing its camps nationwide.

This was disclosed on Monday by the Director-General of the scheme, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim while addressing the Batch “C” Stream Two corp members and camp officials.

He noted that the measure would take effect from the next orientation camp, which will commence in a few weeks.

The NYSC boss said prospective corps members would need to show evidence of vaccination from coronavirus before they would be allowed to register.

Ibrahim noted that the decision is to mitigate the spread of the disease following the detection of the Omicron variant in the country.

He also warned corps members to avoid embarking on unauthorised journeys, urging them to break any journey extending beyond 6:00 pm and pass the night in a safe place.

According to him, “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,.
