The National Youth Service Corps Coordinator for Niger, Bolade Omulayo has said the 2,424 Batch B corps members posted to Niger are in good health condition.
Omulayo told journalists at the Paiko camp on Monday that medical facilities and drugs had been provided to address the health care needs of the corps members.
” For cases beyond the camp clinic, patients are referred to General Hospital Minna for thorough medical attention.”
She explained that there were no serious health cases among them, stressing that malaria and asthma were the common ailments among corps members due to change of environment.
“One corps member suffering from epileptic condition has since been redeployed to his state of origin,” she said.
Pregnant and nursing mothers among them were also redeployed to their various states for primary assignments.
The coordinator expressed satisfaction with the level of security at the camp, saying there were no threats to live and property.
