Checkout Why NYSC Sent 49 Corps Members back home in Osun State

Mr. Emmanuel Attah, the Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps in Osun State, has said that  49  corps members had been sent back to their parents from the orientation camp. The leadership of the NYSC has confirmed the premature exit of  the corp members due to some factors that would hamper their participation. According to reports, the Corps members were sent home based on health. 
 

The Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps in the state said this on Tuesday evening during the inspection of the permanent orientation camp in Ede by the Director-General of the NYSC, Brig-General Suleiman Kazaure.

He explained that the NYSC took that step in order to prevent serious health issues and even death in the camp. The coordinator said the NYSC placed priority on the health and welfare of corps members, saying that was why qualified medical personnel were stationed at the camp to attend to any health issue.

Attah said, “Two thousand three hundred corps members were deployed in Osun State and out of this we registered 2226 of this number 1023 are male while 1123 are female corps members.

“Out of this number we had instant relocation of 73 corps members, 49 corps members were on medical grounds while the rest are nursing mothers and marital issue.

“We never took a chance, we are serious on medical issue that is why we never had any issue right  from Sunday before the corps member entered the camp all medical team of the campus and myself were at the gate to check any corps member coming with any communicable diseases and we got some, registered them and relocated them to their parents.”
