“We really commend Livful Company Limited for the donation of mosquito repellents, it will go a long way to protect the corps members from mosquito bites,” she added.
The state coordinator said that the Lagos Camp is expected to accommodate no fewer than 3,000 prospective corps members for the three-week mandated NYSC orientation camp programme.

“Prospective corps members posted to Lagos have started arriving the camp today and we are delighted to have them because everything is ready to make them comfortable.
