Although the NYSC leadership did not state the reason for this drastic decision in its circular (dated Friday, March 5) to state/FCT coordinators, it informed all D&R and foreign-trained verification officers in states to take note.
In another post, Legit.ng reported that corp members posted to the Bayelsa orientation camp in the country were not having the best of experience.
In a recent video shared by @gossipboyz1 on Instagram, an unidentified corp member - in the company of his colleagues - lamented the poor state of their orientation camp.
He hammered on the fact that the shabby-looking lodge exposed them to mosquitoes and wasn't properly ventilated. In the night video he released, it was observed that the roofing was scattered and had openings with some parts of it dragging on the floor.
