Orientation: Covid Test Compulsory for all Corpers–NYSC Insists

All the Prospective Corps Members and other Camp participants for the 2022 Batch ‘A’ Orientation Exercise would undergo compulsory COVID-19 RDT Test, and only those that test negative would be allowed entry into the camps.

NYSC Director-General, Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim disclosed this today during a live joint webinar by NYSC/NCDC organised for the 2022 Batch ‘A’ Prospective Corps Members.

The DG disclosed that those that test positive to COVID-19 would be handed over to the NCDC and State Ministry of Health Officials for treatment.

General lbrahim revealed that the collaboration with NCDC has yielded good results, adding that since the partnership started, no casualty has been recorded in any of the Scheme’s Orientation Camps across the country.

The Director-General lauded the Federal Government, Presidential Committee on COVID-19 and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) for their support for the Scheme, especially in the conduct of hitch-free Orientation Camps since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country.

Ibrahim advised the PCMs to be security conscious, avoid night journeys, while also counselling them to break any journey that would extend beyond 6:00pm.

“You can pass the night in any NYSC Orientation camp, NYSC Secretariats, Corps Members’ Lodge, Military and security formations.

“I urge you to take advantage of this opportunity because NYSC is a platform for those that are serious.

Posting and other services in NYSC are free, don’t give bribe for posting”, he said.

He urged all camp participants to come to the Orientation camps with their vaccination cards.

“This is the 7th edition of safe Camp Re-opening Webinar. We will continue to work hard to facilitate the safe re-opening for all camp participants.

The virus is still with us and we must continue to take both personal and collective responsibility to ensure our safety”, he stated.
