The NYSC laments the deplorable status of orientation camps.

Shuaibu Ibrahim, the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), highlighted concerns about the state of orientation camps around the country during the 2022 NYSC annual management meeting in Abuja.

Ibrahim, although noting the scheme’s numerous accomplishments, stated that it has been plagued by the failure of some essential parties to perform their statutory responsibilities. He noted that the project was confronted with deteriorating Orientation Camp facilities, insufficient Corps Lodges, and a dearth of suitable office space in several states.

He also cited the supply of start-up money for corps members who have acquired entrepreneurial skills as a significant difficulty the organization is currently facing.
