Few days after shutting down its Orientation camps
nationwide over the Coronavirus outbreak, the National Youth Service Corps NYSC
has suspended its weekly Community Development Service activities indefinitely.
The CDS affords Corps
members the opportunity to meet weekly and monthly to discuss ways they can
better their immediate environment with any project they can embark on.
A statement released
by the NYSC Director of Human Resource Management, Abdulrazak Salawu, said the
CDS suspension was because of the increasing cases of Covid-19.
The statement reads
“Sequel to the
pandemic of coronavirus globally and management’s concern for the wellbeing of
corp members nationwide, I am directed to inform you to suspend all Community
Development Service activities until further notice. This obvious course of
action is directed by circumstances beyond our control.
“The sudden
changes in many countries warranting social changes between persons and
isolation of persons on account of COVID-19 present no other option but to stop
CDS activities because of a large number of persons in close contact.
“With the
abundance of caution, avoidance of errors is easily achievable.”
