NYSC Decries Dilapidated State of Orientation Camps

The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has condemned the poor state of infrastructure and operating conditions at its orientation camps in the country.

Director-General of the Scheme, Major-General Shuaibu Ibrahim, raised the alarm at the 2022 NYSC Annual Management Conference, on Wednesday in Abuja to deliberate on the state of the operating environment.

The theme of the conference is ‘Repositioning the NYSC for Improved Healthcare delivery, Revenue Generation and Corps Employment for Reliance.”

He blamed the poor state of affairs in the camps on the failure of some critical stakeholders to discharge their statutory responsibilities, especially in the States.

According to him, “Despite the achievements, the Scheme still faces some challenges. These arise mainly from the non-discharge of the statutory responsibilities of some critical stakeholders.
