Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, the National Youth Service Corps scheme has announced May 28 as the passing out/distribution of certificates to 2019 Batch “B” Stream 1 corpers.
This was disclosed on Monday on the official page of the NYSC saying the event would not be marked with ceremonial parades due to the pandemic.
The NYSC scheme said in line with COVID-19 protocol of social/physical distancing, Certificate of National Service (CNS) shall be issued to qualified Corps Members at the Local Government level.
The statement read, “A full complement of NYSC Officers have been mobilised for the distribution and shall do so from ten service points in each of the Local Government Councils."
“As a precautionary measure, the distribution shall be staggered for a period of ten days in the first instance, in order to remove anxiety from the concerned corps members, in addition to making the activity seamless and less cumbersome,”
However, the scheme urged the passing out members to observe strict discipline, orderliness, social distancing, use of facemasks, hand sanitizer and proper washing of hands and added that Corps Members who are currently not in their States of service need not to violate the ban on inter-state traveling which is still in force.
They are expected to go to their respective States of service to collect their Certificate as soon as the ban is lifted and it is safe to travel.
