The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has assured that all corps’ members have been assigned to their Places of Primary Assignment (PPAs) before the abrupt closure of orientation camps.
South West Director of the scheme, Attah Emmanuel, told newsmen by telephone on Wednesday that the NYSC had planned ahead of the emergency closure of all camps across the country.
“We have planned ahead of this time and we have taken the decision to close all camps in the best interest of the nation and that of our corps members as well as staff members,” he said.
“I can confirm to you that all our corps members have been posted to their respective places of primary assignment and we have also rushed through some of the orientation programmes.”
He added that the directive from the headquarters was for all camps to be closed by Wednesday across the country.
The three-week compulsory orientation course for corps members was abruptly ended to curtail possible spread of the coronavirus.
