In its effort to support government in helping Internally Displaced Persons, the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC plans to deploy medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other medical professionals to IDP camps across the country.
The newly appointed The Director General of the NYSC, Brig-Gen. Sule Kazaure, disclosed this in Yola on Thursday while flagging-off the NYSC intervention programme at Damare IDP camp.
"This programme, which is designed to bring succour to the inmates in this centre, is also intended to compliment government’s efforts towards provision of the welfare needs of members of IDPs nationwide.
"The scheme, therefore, will deploy the services of corps professionals such as medical doctors, nurses, pharmacist, etc to the centres to assist Federal Government in the provision of medical and other sundry needs of the IDPs.
"Specifically corps members will be participating in medical outreaches, environmental sanitation, educational intervention and general awareness creation on healthy living," he said
He also enjoined well-meaning Nigerians and corporate organisations to support government in rehabilitating IDPs in the country.
