The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Director-General, Brig. Gen. Ibrahim Shuaibu has given an update on the position of the youth service program in the country amid the current COVID-19 pandemic.
In an interview with journalists, the NYSC DG said there are no plans to mobilize new corp members for now due to the present situation in the country.
The DG said, “We don’t know when we are going to start mobilising our corps members. You know our training is also structured like that of the military and paramilitary. You can see that the Nigerian Navy recently suspended its training for its freshly recruited cadets.”
He also pointed out that the Batch A stream 1 corp members who had their orientation camp called off would be called back to complete the training program as soon as they can.
“So, the moment the coast is clear, we are going to key into the way others will conduct their exercise, so that our corps members can be called back soonest.”
