The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has addressed a viral social media video suggesting a change in the uniforms of Corps Members.
The NYSC confirmed that all items issued to Corps Members upon registration at Orientation Camps remain unchanged.
Eddy Megwa, the NYSC Director of Information and Public Relations, issued a statement on Friday refuting the claims made in the video.
“Members of the public, especially Prospective Corps members are hereby advised to disregard the misleading and highly embarrassing tiktok video in its entirety, as efforts are ongoing on the distribution of uniforms and other essential variables to all the 37 NYSC Orientation Camps across the country in preparation for the forthcoming 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream One Orientation Course,” Megwa said.
“Recently, the Federal Government approved the improvement in the quality of the material used in sewing Corps Members’ uniforms.
“This is already done and Corps Members are already enjoying the improved quality.
“Social Media Influencers are strongly warned to desist forthwith, from using NYSC Corporate brand in any online medium that may attract negative publicity to the Scheme, while defaulters would be prosecuted according to legal provisions.“
