following the recent incidents in NYSC camps, coppers are advised to give accurate information of their health

The National Youth Service Corps  DG has advised prospective Corps
members to always give correct information on their states of health
while registering for mobilization into the Scheme. This is again in
reaction to the loss of three Corps members recently.

The Director-General, Brigadier General Sulaiman
Kazaure, gave the advice when he addressed the 2016 Batch ‘B’ (Stream I)
Corps members at the Orientation camps in Anambra and Delta States. He

health facilities where they were receiving care.

The
Director-General noted, however, that many prospective Corps members

platform. He said the entire Management of the Scheme was saddened by
the loss of three Corps members in Bayelsa, Kano and Zamfara camps and
would continue to accord top priority to the welfare and security of
