NYSC orientation camp in Lagos nearing completion: Eddy Megwa
The Lagos state government has pledged to complete the state’s National Youth Service Corps permanent orientation camp in Agbowa, Ikorodu.
The outgoing Coordinator of NYSC in the state, Eddy Megwa, expressed the optimism in an interview on Friday in Lagos.
Mr Megwa said that acquisition of land for the camp, its fencing and erection of structures on it were indications that the camp would be ready soon.
“If I know the Lagos State Government and the way it does its things, give it six months and the NYSC will move to the permanent orientation camp.
“The temporary orientation camp in Iyana-Ipaja can barely accommodate 1,600 corps members.
“The new orientation camp will have about 20,000-accommodation capacity with other structures in place.
“Then, Lagos State will have a second to none ultra-modern orientation camp in Nigeria,” he said.
Speaking on his achievements, Mr Megwa said “The greatest achievement is that we built the spirit of unity in diversity among corps members whereby they see and approach themselves as brothers and sisters,” the outgoing NYSC coordinator said.
Mr Megwa is redeployed to NYSC in Abuja as the Director of Press and Public Affairs.
