The National Youth Service Corps has suspended its weekly Community Development Service activities indefinitely .

This is coming a few days after shutting down its orientation camps nationwide.

The suspension of the CDS was contained in a press statement obtained by our correspondent on Friday .

The statement , which was signed by NYSC Director of Human Resource Management Abdulrazak Salawu , said the CDS suspension was because of the increasing cases of Covid-19 .

The PUNCH reports that corp members across the country meet weekly in their local governments and once in a month in their zones .
The statement explained that the CDS meetings have a large number of persons coming in close contact .

It also ordered all Local Government Inspectors to immediately comply with the directive.

The statement read, “ Sequel to the pandemic of coronavirus globally and management ’ s concern for the wellbeing of corp members nationwide, I am directed to inform you to suspend all Community Development Service activities until further notice .

“ This obvious course of action is directed by circumstances beyond our control .

“ The sudden changes in many countries warranting social changes between persons and isolation of persons on account of COVID -19 present no other option but to stop CDS activities because of a large number of persons in close contact .

“ With the abundance of caution , avoidance of errors is easily achievable .”
