The Director-General of NYSC, Brig Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim, who stated these during a sensitisation webinar, jointly organised by the NYSC and Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) for the prospective corps members ahead of commencement of the orientation exercise, warned against night journey as they (corps members) prepare to proceed to the various NYSC camps across the country for orientation programme.
