The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim has announced that the scheme will bar unvaccinated corpers from entering the various orientation camps across the country.
The DG said that the measure is part of NYSC’s contribution to curbing the spread of Covid-19 following the detection of the Omicron variant in the country.
Corpers who have not been vaccinated against the dreaded virus will be denied access to the orientation camps by the authorities he said.
Shuaibu Ibrahim made the announcement on Monday, 13th of December in a nationwide virtual address to the 2021 Batch “C” Stream 2 corps members and camp officials.
He noted that with this measure, the scheme was making its own contribution to curb the spread of Covid-19 following the detection of the Omicron varian in Nigeria.
The DG added that there is nothing like 2 weeks break after leaving the orientation camps.
According to him, “We want to ensure that we adhere strictly to the non-pharmaceutical protocols of Covid-19.”
He urged corpers to add value to themselves by acquiring skills that would make them business owners, instead of seeking for the scarcely available salaried jobs.
Corps members were also warned against embarking on night and unauthorised journeys but instead, break any journey extending beyond 6:00pm and pass the night in a safe place.
In his words, “We have NYSC 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 your destination.”
