The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) management has shut down all the orientation camp nationwide over the spread of coronavirus.
The directive, which came from the NYSC headquarters in Abuja early Wednesday morning disrupted the orientation camp of the 2020 Batch A Stream 1, across the 37 centres in the country.
The Lagos State NYSC Coordinator, Eddy Megwa, told corps members during morning meditation on the parade ground to leave the orientation camp as soon as possible.
“We have been asked to close down all orientation camps and discharged the corps members to their various places of primary assignment,” Megwa said.
He said the abrupt ending of the camp was part of preventive measures taken by NYSC against the spread of deadly coronavirus in the country.
The virus has killed over 7000 persons globally while three cases of the virus have been confirmed in Nigeria. (Text courtesy Guardian)
