In its report presented to President Muhammadu Buhari last week and seen by TheCable, the committee recommended the consideration of suspension of NYSC camps for 24 months.
“The immediate focus in the Education sector is to address the disruptions caused by the pandemic and ensuing social distancing measures at all levels of education,” the report read.
“Practical steps will be taken to minimise disruption to learning, utilising technology as appropriate. Specifically, virtual learning will be implemented (either online or through broadcast), virtual convocation ceremonies or issuance of certificates (with postponed ceremonies) should be implemented to continue educational progression.
“In similar context, consideration will be given to suspending the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Orientation Camp Exercises for at least 24 months while allowing deployment to places of primary assignment.
“This will ensure that there is no backlog in the National Service placement pipeline.”
In March, NYSC camps were shut following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in Nigeria.
From The Cable
They should cancel it outrightly!!!
It should be cancelled
ReplyDeleteI totally accede to his proposition or suggestion
DeleteI agree
DeleteThere is no need to cancel anything if they will build the necessary facilities.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that there is paucity of facilities in these camps. Even a goat pen isn't as bad as that.
They cannot build basic facilities sef, so no need of wasting billions for nothing.
DeleteWhere has he been?
ReplyDeleteI concur with you Stella.
ReplyDeleteAnd they are considering opening schools. Sending humans to go be sacrificial lambs. Especially the primary school children. This is what happens when an Illiterate, selfish,clueless person rules.
ReplyDeleteSeriously?? Personally, I think the entire service year would be highly uneventful without orientation camp though. In fact, camp is the climax of NYSC as far as I'm concerned...
ReplyDeleteYou are so on point.
DeleteCamp experience is the koko of NYSC!
Camp experience 😏,with the rate at which the pandemic is spreading like wild fire, you want to the country's human resources at risk!Let them scrap the orientation Camp please.Covid 19 is not going into oblivion any time soon and things can never be the same,the earlier we start adopting new measures the better.Schools and organizations should start virtual operations fully.Those of us within the Labour market should hone our skills and make it more technology inclined, Techn and Agriculture would most likely be the industries dominating the economy post covid-19.
DeleteYes o,what is NYSC without Camp?
DeleteLet them cancel for this year, lets see how things will turn out. We may get vaccines soon.
DeleteOutrightly cancelled! Total waste of time.
ReplyDeleteIts not a total waste of time o.
DeleteThis brings back camp memories. Camp is another experience on its own. I understand their fears though. Safety first.
ReplyDeleteYesoooo YOU FIRST!
DeleteAccording to first bank....
They should just cancel it, but then again most people if not for nysc, they wouldn't be where they are today...
ReplyDeleteStella cancel ke, it's not possible o
ReplyDeleteAbeg, they should not cancel it ooo
ReplyDeleteTo think i found love in camp oh, chai, this fresh graduates will never know the experience
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the purpose of NYSC. The original purpose has been defeated as people now work their postings and corpers' safety is not guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteSome people will not like this, but safety first.
ReplyDeleteIt should be suspended for now,becuase camp will be the easily point of transfer.
ReplyDeleteCancel for now.
ReplyDeleteCamp is always fun

ReplyDeleteYou know the amount of employment nysc has given to Nigerians? Even though the system is corrupt, at least the staff capacity of nysc is close to 20 thousand,if not more, both temporary and permanent
