Beyond promoting national integration and unity through the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Olaoluwa Joshua Onifade, Kwara State coordinator of the scheme, has assured prospective corps members that adequate measures have been put in place by both the Federal and Kwara State governments to guarantee their safety throughout the service year.
Speaking with journalists in Ilorin, Onifade described the temporary orientation camp located within the Kwara State Polytechnic as safe, secure, and conducive for corps members.
He explained that the orientation camp was relocated from its permanent site in Yikpata, Edu Local Government Area, due to security concerns and misinformation surrounding the area, stressing that the temporary camp provides a peaceful and secure environment for all participants.
According to him, about 2,000 prospective corps members are currently undergoing the 2026 Batch B Orientation Course at the camp.
Onifade noted that the welfare and security of corps members, as well as personnel attached to the scheme, remain top priorities for the government and the NYSC management.
