Megwa said, “To avail the benefits of this scheme, people should hand over their personal data and also protected from exploitation by unscrupulous people.”
The opening clinics of the NYSC Yearly Orientation Camps across Nigeria are managed by the National Health Insurance Authority in conjunction with experts from tertiary GHIs.
“There are physical demands and regimentation associated with the NYSC orientation programme, so for new members to be fully eligible for enrollment, management requires a Fitness Certificate from one of their recognised facilities.
It’s essential for directors to manage their campers and make sure that they don’t overexert themselves. Fraudulent individuals take advantage of this and extort money from corps members who need documents like provisional visas.
For example, it’s important to maintain separation between licensed corps members and new arrivals so that both are not running around the same camp all day.
