The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has stated that no corps member will be deployed to anywhere that is facing security threat during its forthcoming 2021 Batch 'A' stream two orientation course. NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim said that they will continue to work closely with relevant shareholders to evolve strategies for the protection of all corps members and the entire camp community during the orientation course. He said that the workshop will enable top management, collaborating partners and other critical stakeholders review the previous orientation courses with a view to improving the scheme's performance in subsequent exercises. DG Ibrahim stated that they will work closely with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and State Ministries of Health in regards to strict adherence to all COVID-19 safety protocols. According to him, "However, we would use the opportunity of the workshop to, among other things, harness our experiences and explore the prospect of increasing camp capacity, without losing sight of the need to adhere strictly to COVID -19 safety protocols, as we learn to operate optimally under the 'new normal." The Director-General thanked the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, and State Ministries of Health for their support and guidance which contributed immensely to the successful execution of the previous Orientation exercises. He extend profound gratitude to the Victim Support Fund under Lt Gen Theophilus Danjuma (Rtd) for its assistance to the Scheme, including the latest donation of sixty thousand COVID-19 test kits. In addition, the NYSC boss appreciated the Nassawara state government for granting approval for the renovation of Magaji Dan Yamusa Orientation Camp in Keffi, augmentation of feeding Corps members and camp officials during the orientation course.
