CORONAVIRUS: NYSC ORDERS ALL ORIENTATION CAMPS SHUT

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Wednesday shut down all its camps and suspended the on going orientation course for its corps members nationwide as preventive and precautionary measures against coronavirus.

The decision was blamed on the outbreak of coronavirus which on Tuesday forced the Federal Government to cancel the National Sports Festival. The ongoing orientation for Batch A Stream 1 corps members, which was supposed to end 30, March 2020 has now been terminated 12 days in advance.
