The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has dismissed reports claiming the death of a corps member in Ogijo, Sagamu Local Government Area of Ogun State. Contrary to a news report on Monday suggesting that an adult male's corpse found in an isolated bush in Ogijo was that of a corps member, the Ogun State Coordinator of NYSC, Olayinka Nasamu, labeled the information as untrue and outright falsehood.
Addressing newsmen in Abeokuta on Tuesday, Nasamu emphasized that the unidentified corpse had no association with the NYSC. She urged journalists to crosscheck information with the NYSC before publishing, highlighting the importance of accurate and positive representation for the organization.

Nasamu stated, "Writing what never happened is not a good image projection for us nor any organization. We want a positive projection of our image. NYSC is a household name, and there’s no household that is not a benefactor of this scheme in this country."
Media outlets were encouraged to collaborate with NYSC for precise and positive representation, emphasizing the scheme's continued relevance despite challenges.
