Shuaibu Ibrahim, the Director-General of NYSC, gave the directives at a sensitisation webinar for the prospective corps members.

The director-general charged corps members to avoid traveling at night to their various orientation camps.

Ibrahim warned the Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) traveling far distances from North to South or vice versa to break their trip into two stages and avoid making one long trip that stretches into the night.

According to the NYSC DG, “Corps members would be allowed on NYSC approved camps nationwide from January 19, 2021, as against the earlier announced date of January 18, 2021.”

He further disclosed that there will be COVID-19 tests before any PCM is allowed entry into the camps, adding that the service will not hesitate to decamp any corps member who fails to adhere strictly to COVID-19 protocols as stipulated by the Presidential Task Force (PTF).

All potential Corps members were called upon to register at the NCDC website
