The National Youth Service Corps has mobilised 6,000 corps members across the country for the 2020 NYSC Batch “B” scheme.
The Director-General of the NYSC, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, stated this during an interview with The PUNCH in Jos during a pre-orientation course workshop organised for stakeholders.
He said, “We are prepared to deploy 6,000 corps members to participate for the 2020 Batch ‘B’ exercise. We have gone round the country to ensure that the camps are also ready. We are going to merge those who suspended their orientation in March to also participate for the forthcoming national orientation exercise.”
The DG said the NYSC management had put in place all COVID-19 protocols in a bid to contain the pandemic and curtail community transmission in camps across the country.
He noted that the corps would ensure strict compliance with guidelines in all activities, including the issuance of certificates to corps members that had successfully completed their service.
Ibrahim assured that the NYSC would also comply with rules endorsed by the Presidential Task Force on the COVID-19 pandemic and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control in all orientation camps in the country.
