Reports!

Prospective corps members have appealed to the National Youth Service Corps to reopen orientation camps for the commencement of service.
Some of them, who spoke with SaharaReporters, asked the NYSC management to post them directly to organizations currently operating without camping as recommended by ‪Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.

One corps member, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, said,

“We registered to commence service before the lockdown. We were unable to go for camping because the first stream was already filled.

We were thus told to wait for the second stream. Unfortunately, the Coronavirus lockdown started while stream 1 camping was ongoing. It was suspended, and the camps were closed.

“We are getting older and our months are essentially wasting, in the sense that, going this way, we will be forced to do the same service for 12 months after all these is over.

The pandemic has brought financial hardships on us and our parents. At a time we ought to package our profiles and apply for jobs to ease the hardship, we are being held back for having not served.

“Some of us have to commence graduate studies next year. It is only reasonable that we know when our service ends so we can plan our applications and preparations accordingly.

We are now been indefinitely held back by the silence from the NYSC management. Commencing service and having to spend likely 12 more months than our colleagues in stream I practically render some of us ineligible to apply for most jobs with age restrictions.

“In light of this, we humbly request that the concerned authorities consider our demands.

“Should ‪@officialnysc consider the above to not be feasible yet, they should activate our profiles and make our months of waiting on their decision count out of our service year.”

I am a victim o

Nysc has been forgotten

They can't wait to be collecting awoof 33k without doing anything......



Some of them don't even know that they'd be posted to interior bush with no network....They should better enjoy their free time before opening threads to lament and cry of government cruelty.....

Can social distancing or covid 19 prevention measures really be enforced or implemented at any camp? The Camp system does not handle social distancing from what is done at the camp. NYSC needs to sit down and see how they can do somethings online such as PPA etc and maybe camping not compulsory

The call to suspend opening of camp is a matter of security and government working on how to prevent spread of covid19. Government have the power to reopen schools but chose to open it for exit students.
The call for the suspension is being proactive, south Africa that open her schools, the spread of covid19 skyrocketed..this is a lesson for us. If we choose to heed.

Shut up

The federal government meant well by suspending NYSC orientation camp due to COVID19 pandemic, it is better to miss camping than losing lives to pandemic.

It would be difficult to maintain social distance in NYSC Orientation camp therefore let it remain closed till the menace of CIVID19 reduces to minimal to prevent the wide spread of it

This is done to prevent the wide spread of pandemic so let us be prayerful that the issue on ground stop

Suspending NYSC is make us be secure from COVID19 pandemic, The Federal Government meant well to our lives

In as much as some PCMs feel delayed and I think your safety come first. Once its safe to return, you all will be informed but for right now let's stay safe, acquire basic knowledge online, do free courses to help boost our qualification.

How do they expect NYSC to handle the case of those who studied abroad?

All lives matter

I don't think going to camp is necessary. They should be posted to their PPA directly

Alright.

Self employment is the best Employments.

To serve Nigeria is not by force. Aspiring Otondo's take note!

good one

Camp is not the priority, they sud be more concerned about time wastage, medical facilities in camp have always bn so poor. Government sud just deploy dem to their PPA.

PS : exemption is better for them tho, they wudnt just realize this
