A group, The Soul Spring Foundation, has called on the Federal Government to rethink the Prof. Yemi Osinbajo-led Economic Sustainability Committee’s recommendation that the orientation camp of the National Youth Service Corps Scheme should be suspended for two years to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The ESC had made many far reaching recommendations to President Muhammadu Buhari on the nation’s responses and precautionary measures against the COVID-19 pandemic.

A statement by the President, Save The Soul Spring Foundation, Ogunkuade Oluwatosin, said, “In its focus on the Educational sector and reaction to the NYSC Directorate’s submitted proposal which includes guidelines to reopen camps across the country for which it sought approval, the (ESC) Committee suggested the suspension of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Orientation Camp Exercises for at least 24 months while allowing direct deployment from institutions to places of primary assignment (PPA) to ensure that there is no backlog in the National Service placement.

What's their crux with this scheme gaan sef?

Osinbajo didn't say they should suspend the NYSC but the orientation camp for now in order to reduce the spread of coronavirus

The call for suspension of NYSC camp is for the nation to get back on track and ensure the ESP is realized to attain a long term sustainable blueprint and economic recovery growth. Osinbajo has already set the plan and we can wait for its implementation to commence. Plus not forgetting that this will prevent the spread of coronavirus.
