No fewer than 49 National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members have been sent home from the orientation camp in Osun state.

The State Coordinator of the NYSC, Emmanuel Attah, said some of the corps members were medically unfit to participate in the activities in the orientation camp.

He explained further that the decision was taken in order to prevent serious health issues, and even death of corps members while in camp.

Attah stressed that the NYSC prioritises the health and welfare of corps members, saying qualified medical personnel are fully on hand to attend to any health issue.

“2,300 corps members were deployed in Osun State and out of this, we registered 2,226. Of this number 1,023 are male while 1,123 are female corps members.

“Out of this number, we had instant relocation of 73 corps members; 49 corps members were on medical grounds while others are nursing mothers and marital issue. We take medical issues seriously.

“Before the corps member entered the camp, all members of the medical team and myself were at the gate to check any corps member coming in with any communicable diseases and we got some, registered them and relocated them to their parents,” he said.
