The fake NYSC Orientation Camp discovered in Minna

The recent discovery of an illegal National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Orientation Camp within the premises of Kin Kin Primary School, Minna, Niger State, has once again confirmed reports of the existence of such fake NYSC camps across the country. Officials of the State Security Service (SSS), who smashed the fake camp, said victims of the scam were mostly graduates of part-time programmes run by some of our universities.

The victims, 21 females and 13 males, allegedly paid the syndicate running the scam various sums of money ranging from N120,000 to N350,000 each to participate in the illegal national service. One of the operators of the camp was arrested by the SSS.

The existence of fake orientation camps such as the one in Minna is a fallout of the desperation of some Nigerian graduates to participate in the NYSC scheme even when they are not statutorily qualified for it.
