Following the earlier announcement of the reopening of all National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camps from November 10, 2020, the Federal Government has ordered compulsory COVID-19 tests for all prospective corps members.
National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Sani Aliyu, stated this during a briefing in Abuja on Thursday.
Orientation camps have been shut since March to checkmate spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

“The PTF has also arranged additional safeguards to include the testing of all corpers and staff in the camps for COVID-19 tests prior to commencement of the orientation programmes.”
