The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that prospective corps members will henceforth be required to present fitness certificates from recognised public health facilities at orientation camps across the country

NYSC spokesperson, Eddy Megwa, in a statement on Tuesday, November 1, said the certificate of fitness will become a requirement for registration at camps and will be effected in the 2022 Batch ‘C’ Orientation Course

Megwa said the fitness test will help the scheme ascertain the health status of corpers and also fish out those who lie about their medical conditions. “In order to avail the scheme credible information on their health status and also protect them from exploitation by unscrupulous persons

It is pertinent to note that the NYSC Orientation Camp Clinics across the nation are managed by the National Health Insurance Authority with the supervision of consultants from tertiary health institutions
