The Federal Government (FG), through Covid-19 Presidential Task-Force (PTF) has asked the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC to start preparing for resumption of Orientation Camp activities.

Below are his words;

“We have advised the National Youth Service Corps to start planning ahead of resumption in future phases, but not within this current phase of the response.

“We will work closely with them to design policies that may allow this to happen in the future,” he said.

Meanwhile, NYSC management responded by extending online registration for 2020 Batch ‘A’ Stream 2.

“This is to inform 2020 Batch ‘A’ Stream II Prospective Corps Members that Online Registration has been extended to Tuesday 11th August, 2020.”

Furthermore, the PTF maintained that until safety was guaranteed, schools would remain shut, said that only exiting classes: primary 6, JSS 3 and SS3 have been approved to resume while other classes and tertiary institutions remained closed.
