NYSC Reiterates Strict Adherence to Operational Guidelines despite Late Arrivals to Camp

In response to the reports of agitations by some Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) who arrived late to their respective Orientation Camps, the management of National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has upheld strict adherence to the rules of engagement of the Scheme.

The above information was disclosed by Caroline Embu, NYSC Acting Director of Information and Public Relations on September 2, 2024, on the official NYSC Facebook page.

Prior to the directive, the PCMs had arrived late to their respective Orientation Camps for the ongoing 2024 Batch 'B' Stream 2 Orientation Course, and were consequently not registered.

In response, the NYSC Director General promptly visited some camps to assess the situation. He sympathized with the affected Prospective Corps Members but reiterated strict adherence to the rules of engagement in accordance with the NYSC Bye-laws, including adherence to the stipulated dates of resumption to the Orientation Camp. He directed that the affected Prospective Corps Members be provided with accommodation and feeding before they left the camps.

The Director also assured those who made efforts but could not meet the registration schedule for this batch should be given some considerations during the 2024 Batch ‘C’ mobilization.
