The management of the National Youth Service Corps in Oyo State has debunked a video making the rounds which shows a female corps member wearing a long white skirt instead of the standard white shorts at an orientation camp.

Photos and videos of the corps member wearing white and khaki skirts at a yet to be disclosed NYSC orientation camp got many people talking after it hit the internet.

in a statement issued on Wednesday, State NYSC Assistant Director of Press and Public Relations Unit, Mrs Olatoye Christy said that no such corps member was present at the orientation camp, adding that every corps member is abiding with the rules of the scheme.

“The attention of the management of the NYSC Oyo State has been drawn to the video that has gone viral in the social media showing an unidentified corps member that was purportedly spotted in NYSC Oyo State camp wearing a long white skirt instead of the conventional white short,” she said.

“It is important to set the record straight that the scene was never captured in Oyo State camp. Corps members are mandated to always put on the white T-shirt and white shorts as their uniform in camp and there was never any corps member who refused to comply with the NYSC dress code whether based on religious belief or any other reason.

“The NYSC camp is a regimented setting and no individual can be allowed to behave contrary to the rules and regulations guiding the orientation exercise. The general public is hereby advised to disregard the video as a scenario in Oyo camp as such never happened in the permanent orientation camp, Iseyin.”
