The federal government says it will not hesitate to close any orientation camps of the National Youth Service Corps in any state that flouts the guidelines designed to curtail the spread of COVID-19.
Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, issued the warning on Monday.
He said corps members from such states will be moved to adjoining states.
“We however wish that we will not get to that stage,” the minister said.
Dare said there was a high level of compliance to COVID-19 protocol in many of the camps he had so far visited.
He said before orientation camps were reopened in November 2020, meetings were held during which the safety guidelines were arrived at.
