We Didn’t Abandon Any Corps Members In COVID-19 Isolation Centre-NYSC
JOEL AJAYI
The management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) said the scheme did not, in any way, abandon either the Corps Members or Prospective Corps Members earlier quarantined in Isolation Centres, for testing positive to COVID-19.
The Director, Press and Public Relations of the scheme, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to the statement, the attention of NYSC Management has been drawn to the above report circulating on social media.
“Management wishes to state emphatically that the story is inaccurate, and does not in any way represent the true position of things concerning either the Corps Members in reference, or Prospective Corps Members earlier quarantined in other Isolation Centres for testing positive to COVID-19.
“To put the issues raised in proper perspective, some Corps Members of the 2020 Batch “A” deployed to Jigawa State, who had to return to the Orientation Camp to conclude the Orientation programme earlier truncated in March this year, arising from the Coronavirus pandemic tested positive to the dreaded virus upon being tested at the camp.
“It is pertinent to state that before admission into any NYSC camp, both the Prospective Corps Members and Corps Members as the case may be; and Camp officials must undergo COVID-19 test”.
“Those that tested negative were allowed into the camps, while cases of those that tested positive are handled by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)”.
“The Jigawa Corps Members that tested positive to the virus were taken into the State’s Isolation Centre for treatment and care.
“It is important to disclose that the NYSC Jigawa Secretariat, Jigawa State Government and NCDC have been in constant touch with the Corps Members on their welfare and care.
“However, there have been agitations from some of them that want to leave the Isolation Centre to reunite with their families because of the festivities but were turned down until they are certified okay by the NCDC.
“The Management appeals to the concerned to be patient as all that the NCDC is doing is for their interest and that of other Nigerians.
“For the promotion of balanced and fair reportage, Management wishes to appeal to the media which it holds in very high esteem as invaluable partners to always cross check issues of this nature with NYSC Management, Jigawa State Government and the NCDC.”
