The Federal Government has approved the immediate closure of the ongoing National Youth Corps Service camps across the country over fears of coronavirus.
 
Members of the 2020 Batch A Stream One NYSC arrived on March 4 at the camp, and are scheduled to depart on March 29.
 
The order was given by the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, on Wednesday, who said the NYSC members would be released to resume at their places of primary assignment.
 
He tweeted that the closure was a precautionary measure on coronavirus.

“Today across the country, the NYSC Orientation camps will be closed and Youth Corpers will be paid and sent to their places of primary assignment.

“This again is a precautionary measure on the part of the government to check the spread of COVID-19. The DG NYSC will provide details,” he tweeted.
 
When contacted on the telephone, some NYSC members told The PUNCH that they were asked to pack their belongings Tuesday evening.
 
Some of them said their deployment letters were given to them early Wednesday morning.
