Nigerian Youth Corps Members Lament Poor Feeding At Jigawa Camp
Nigerian Youth Corps Members Lament Poor Feeding At Jigawa Camp
In conversations with SaharaReporters, several corps members voiced their grievances, alleging that the NYSC management has been providing them with meager and insufficient food portions, woefully inadequate to sustain even the most basic nutritional needs.
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members deployed to Jigawa State have expressed dissatisfaction and discontent regarding the feeding conditions at the orientation camp located in Dutse.
In conversations with SaharaReporters, several corps members voiced their grievances, alleging that the NYSC management has been providing them with meager and insufficient food portions, woefully inadequate to sustain even the most basic nutritional needs.
Photos obtained by SaharaReporters show a corps members with a paltry meal consisting of a small serving of watery beans accompanied by a slice of yam.
“That is what we have been facing. They have been feeding us this since we arrived at the camp. This is bad,” one of the corps members said.
When contacted, the agency’s acting spokesperson, Mrs Carol Lembu told SaharaReporters that the alleged maltreatment would be investigated.
“Thank you for this information. We will look into this right away,” she told SaharaReporters.
Meanwhile, the NYSC earlier attributed the rejection of some Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) from its ongoing 2024 Batch “B” Stream 2 Orientation Course to their late arrival at the designated camps.
SahaaraReporters on Monday reported that hundreds of NYSC corps members were stranded after they were rejected at orientation camps across the country.
SaharaReporters gathered that the affected corps members were prevented from registering for the one-year compulsory service.
The affected graduates are those mobilised for the 2024 batch B stream but later moved to batch C.
One of the affected persons who spoke to SaharaReporters on Monday said about 40 graduates were affected at the Lagos orientation camp.
Feelers from Rivers State indicate that Governor Siminalayi Fubara is contemplating to resign or face impeachment process.
Sources close to the embattled Governor say he is consulting his political allies on the next to honourably resign or fight till end.
Another source said that Sim told his confidants that he would rather resign than appear before the Amaewhule led Assembly nor wait to be impeached.
The crisis entrepreneurs told him to hand on, and courageously fight to the end. That self-seeking advice is reminiscent of what Macbeth did when all the forces were against him: Macduff and his forces advancing against him. Macbeth helplessly yelped:
In the circumstance, the honourable option now for Governor Fubara is RESIGNATION! That would make him a hero of a sort.
However, the public is watching how the event would unfold, as we are in an interesting time.

The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) has called Rivers State governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, to resign from office within 48 hours or be impeached by the State House of Assembly.
Chairman of APC in the state, Chief Tony Okocha, made the call on Monday morning while briefing journalists at his private residence in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Okocha accused Fubara of insulting President Bola Tinubu, when he attempted to proffer a political solution to the crisis in the state.
He said: “As a political party, we are today advising the governor; there are two options, resign honourably or be impeached. That is the position of the All Progressives Congress. He has disrespected Mr. President and we told him that we cannot be here and have him to disrespect Mr. President.
“The offences are there; the Supreme Court has agreed and even provided us with more evidences. The House of Assembly does not need to set up any committee again to investigate him.
“48 hours is too much to give him as ultimatum. He should just resign honourably.”
