NYSC BEGIN COVID-19 VACCINATION OF CORPS MEMBERS

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has denied viral claims that the scheme advised serving corps members to prepare money for ransom if they get abducted while travelling on high-risk roads.

Reports had filtered across social media platforms that a security advisory introduced in March 2021 by the scheme had asked serving corps members to inform their family members and friends before embarking on a road trip as this would enable them to prepare sufficient ransom that may be required if abducted and save them from untimely and brutal death in the hands of the violent criminals.
