National Youth Service Corps NYSC on Friday debunked the rumors going round on social media that Corps Members’ uniforms have been changed to a new one.
In a statement issued in Abuja by the Director, of Information and Public Relations Eddy Megwa revealed that the uniforms of the Corps Members remain the same.
According to the statement, “the attention of NYSC Management has been drawn to a fake tiktok video trending online indicating that Corps Members’ uniform has been changed to a new one.
“For clarity’s sake, NYSC Management wishes to State categorically that all the items of Corps Members’ uniforms that they collect on arrival during registration at the Orientation Camps remain the same.
“Members of the public, especially Prospective Corps Members are hereby advised to disregard the misleading and highly embarrassing tiktok video in its entirety, as efforts are ongoing on the distribution of uniforms and other essential variables to all the 37 NYSC Orientation Camps across the country in preparation for the forthcoming 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream One Orientation Course.
“Recently, the Federal Government approved the improvement in the quality of the material used in sowing Corps Members’ uniforms. This is already done and Corps Members are already enjoying the improved quality.
“Social Media Influencers are strongly warned to desist forthwith, from using NYSC Corporate brand in any online medium that may attract negative publicity to the Scheme, while defaulters would be prosecuted according to legal provisions.”
