Sunday Dare
The Federal Government has threatened to shut down any National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp that violates the COVID-19 protocol.
The warning was given by the Minister of Youth and Sports, Sunday Dare, at the media briefing of the presidential task force (PTF) on COVID-19 in Abuja on Monday.
He said the lives and health of the corps members were a priority to the government, adding that the affected persons would be reposted to nearby states to continue the orientation.
The minister called for strict adherence to the protocol, and urged NYSC officials to cooperate with approved authorities on curtailing the spread of COVID-19 at orientation camps.
He said, “Going forward, any state that refuses to cooperate fully — 100 per cent — in the aspect of COVID-19 protocol adherence, full testing using the RDTs, and also data management by the approved staff of the NCDC, the health ministry, and also the trained doctors, that state will have its orientation camp shut down and the corpers would be sent to adjoining states.”
