Ogun Govt Blames Surge in Corps Members for Overcrowding in Sagamu Camp

The Ogun State Government has attributed the overcrowding situation at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp in Sagamu to a surge in the number of prospective corps members.

The controversy erupted following the circulation of a video showing prospective corps members packed into a room, with mattresses placed closely together on the floor and some sharing mattresses.

The Ogun State Government's response came after a user, Ayohid01, expressed frustration about the experience, stating, "Bro, I can't believe I am experiencing this right now at Ogun State camp. Unna no try at all."

The NYSC Public Relations Officer in Ogun State, Mrs Tejumade Awoleye, declined to comment on the incident when contacted, stating that it is the state coordinator and the Director-General of the scheme who are better placed to address the issue.
