The National Youth Service Corps on Saturday denied social media reports claiming high food prices in orientation camps.
In a statement released by Eddy Megwa, NYSC’s Director of Press and Public Relations.
He said the allegations were described as “laughable, absurd, and unfortunate.”
Megwa condemned the circulating narrative, which suggested that a state coordinator encouraged corps members to leave the orientation camp due to food shortages.
“The story is nothing but a tissue of lies, intended to cause mischief,” stated Megwa.
Megwa outlined the operational framework of the orientation camps, emphasizing the system of checks and balances in place to ensure a smooth and well-regulated course of activities, including the feeding of corps members.
NYSC management insisted that such a claim is baseless, particularly considering the experience and rank of the state coordinators involved, who are seasoned officials, many with over 25 years of dedicated service.
