The Management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has disowned a fake Tiktok video trending online, indicating that Corps Members’ uniform has been changed to a new one.
This was contained in a statement signed by Mr Eddy Megwa, Director, Information and Public Relations which reads in part; “For clarity sake, NYSC Management wish to State categorically that all the items of Corps Members’ uniforms that they collect on arrival during registration at the Orientation Camps remain the same.
‘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 on-going 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.
“Recently, the Federal Government approved for the improvement in the quality of the material used in sowing 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”.
