The second stream of the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) will resume camping on December 3, 2020, the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 has said.

The SGF said the third stream would be called to camp in January 2021.

The PTF also announced the decision to push the take-off date for the National Sports Festival, Edo 2020, till early 2021 when the measures to minimise the spread of COVID-19 in the sports camp would have been put in place.

Speaking on the NYSC Stream 2 camping, Mustapha said: “We are pleased to inform you that the First Stream of NYSC has concluded camping while we expect the Second Stream to go to camp on December 3 and the Third Stream will be in January 2021.

“Necessary measures, building on the successes of the first stream, have been taken. The DG NCDC will brief you on this.”
