The NYSC Director General, Brig. Gen. Johnson Olawumi has denied the insinuation that pregnant women and nursing mothers had been banned from participation in NYSC Orientation camp. According to him,they were not banned but advised to get fit first before comming for the programme. “We did not ban pregnant women and nursing mothers from orientation camps.
