       The National Youth Service Corps regrets the loss of three Corps
       members, Elechi Chinyerum Nwenenda, Oladepo Ifedolapo and Asuquo
       Ukeme Monday, during the on-gong 2016 Batch ‘B’ (Stream I)
       Orientation Course in Bayelsa, Kano and Zamfara States
       respectively.
       The death of the trio followed brief illnesses and after medical
       teams in the camps battled to save them in line with established
       procedures.
       Their demise, coming in their prime time when they were bracing
       up for further roles towards advancing their respective
       families, the nation and the rest of humanity, came as a rude
       shock to us in the NYSC family.
       On behalf of the Management, staff and Corps members nationwide,
       I wish to express our sincere condolences to the families of the
       deceased Corps members.
       May the Almighty God grant them eternal rest and give their
       families and the rest of us the fortitude to bear the
       irreparable losses.
       While we mourn the demise of these Corps members, who, out of
       patriotic zeal, answered the clarion call to serve their
       fatherland, we are constrained to correct the impression of
       negligence being created in some quarters.
       Management wishes to state that the welfare of Corps members has
       always remained topmost in the priorities of the Scheme, and we
       have continued to strive to give our best in that regard.
       The policy of the Scheme regarding healthcare during Orientation
       course provides for the setting up of camp clinic manned by
       qualified Doctors and other Corps Health Personnel.
       The clinics, which are also equipped with drugs and other basic
       facilities, are detailed to render round-the-clock medical
       services on camp with standing arrangement to refer and ensure
       immediate movement of patients to more sophisticated health
       facilities when necessary.
       We want to inform the public that medical teams in our camps
       have always been guided by the procedures of practice and in the
       most professional ways possible.
       However, in view of these unfortunate incidents in Bayelsa,
       Kano, and Zamfara states, Management has set up a high-powered
       committee to investigate the immediate and remote causes of the
       loss the Corps members.
       Management appreciates the concern of stakeholders, and wishes
       to assure the general public, especially serving and prospective
       Corps members as well as parents and guardians that the Scheme
       will continue to take measures aimed at ensuring the security
       and general well being of youths enlisted to serve the nation on
       the platform of the Scheme.
