Ekiti Governor Orders Integrity Test on NYSC Camp Buildings

Governor Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti State has directed the state’s Bureau of Special Projects to conduct an integrity test on all structures at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp in Emure-Ekiti. This initiative aims to ensure the safety of corps members residing at the camp.

Governor Oyebanji issued the directive during a meeting with the NYSC Governing Council, led by Chairman Mr. Gold Adedayo, who also serves as the Commissioner for Youth Development in Ado-Ekiti.

The governor emphasized that the results of the integrity test would guide the government’s decisions on necessary improvements to enhance living conditions within the camp.

“The integrity test will involve a thorough assessment of the camp’s buildings to evaluate their durability and safety standards,” he explained.

Following the collapse of a female hostel bathroom wall last week, which injured two corps members, construction work began on Monday morning to install 45 units of modern toilet facilities as directed by the governor.

Additionally, Governor Oyebanji instructed the state electricity board to install solar-powered electricity at the camp to address immediate infrastructure needs.

Acknowledging the challenges faced by the NYSC camp, Governor Oyebanji assured corps members of his administration’s commitment to their safety and welfare.

“In response to your requests, we will take immediate action where necessary. Solar lighting will be installed promptly. The first step is to conduct an integrity test on all camp buildings. Those found unsuitable will be discontinued,” the governor affirmed.
