Video Highlights Overcrowded Conditions at Ogun NYSC Camp

A video circulating on social media has drawn attention to how National Youth Service Corps members are housed at the orientation camp in Shagamu, Ogun State. In the footage, graduates are seen gathered in a tightly packed room, with beds arranged close together on the floor. Numerous corps members appear to be sharing mattresses, and two people are shown lying on each small mattress. The crowded sleeping conditions have prompted concern online, where several Nigerians contrasted the situation with that of displaced people in Gaza and inmates in Ecuador. “Even people in IDP camps in Gaza are not living like this. We have serious problem in this country,” X user Chude wrote in response to the video. Another commenter said a prison in Ecuador would offer more comfortable accommodation than the NYSC camp.
