Nigeria: Ogun Government Defends NYSC Camp After Video Shows Corps Members Sleeping on Floor

The Ogun State Government has defended the condition of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp in the state after a viral video showed corps members sleeping on the floor.

The video, which circulated on social media, sparked outrage over the poor living conditions of corps members at the camp.

In its reaction, the state government attributed the situation to delays in the registration process, saying the overcrowding was temporary and not a reflection of the usual standard at the camp.

The government maintained that arrangements were being made to address the accommodation challenges and ensure corps members are properly settled for the orientation exercise.

It also assured parents, guardians and corps members that their welfare remains a priority, and that steps were being taken to prevent a recurrence.
