NYSC Mobilises 66,000 Corps Members, Cautions on Use of Social Media in Camps

As the National Youths Service Corps NYSC) mobilises 66,000 eligible graduates for orientation exercises, corps members have been urged to avoid sharing fake news on social media while in the camps.

The Director-General of NYSC, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim who made this known at a media chat in Abuja said following the ease of COVID19 lockdown and the green light from the government to make preparation for the safe resumption of orientation camps, the scheme has been working with relevant agencies to achieve the desired outcomes.

The NYSC boss said: “As at Thursday, November 5, 2020, a total of 66,000 eligible graduates had been mobilised for the 2020 Batch B Service Year. They will participate in the Orientation exercise, which has been planned to take place in three streams for ease of compliance with the COVID-19 protocol.”

He said the stream 1A would commence on November 10 to November 30, 2020; Stream 1B would commence on December 3 to December 22, 2020; while Stream 2 would Commence on January 5 to January 25, 2020.

On safety of the corps members in the orientation camps, general Shuaibu Ibrahim said adequate arrangement had been made for their protection.

He said: I wish to assure Nigerian that all our children, who will participate in the forthcoming orientation exercises, will be adequately protected from the Coronavirus.

“I enjoined both serving and prospective corps members to avoid the use of the Social Media for misrepresentations of facts on issues concerning the scheme. Please do not hesitate to communicate your concerns on any issue to the camp administrators, using the channels made available for such.

“I consider it appropriate to also remind all and sundry that while we are focusing on the safe conduct of the Orientation Course, we equally remain unwavering in our resolve to preserve the credibility of the Mobilisation process.

” Our fool-proof measures are still in place to ensure that only qualified persons participate in the Orientation course.
