Oyo NYSC corps members complain about water and power issues
Some corps members at the NYSC orientation camp in Iseyin, Oyo State, have voiced concerns over erratic electricity and water shortages. According to the corps members, these issues have made daily living and maintaining hygiene difficult during their stay at the camp. Kayode Peters, the Oyo State NYSC Coordinator, acknowledged the electricity problem but insisted that water is being provided regularly. The situation has reportedly led to warnings from NYSC officials against sharing complaints on social media.

- NYSC officials allegedly warned corps members against posting complaints online.
- Kayode Peters disputed claims of water scarcity, stating that generators are used to pump water regularly.
