By Bisola Adeyemo
The Oyo state coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mrs Grace Ogbuogebe, has said that the entire staff and serving corps members in the state will carry out National Environmental Sanitation Day on July 17, 2021 within the 33 local government areas of the state.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by Mrs Christy Olatoye, the Oyo State NYSC Assistant Director, Press and Public Relations, on Wednesday.
According to Environews, during the exercise, there will be sensitisation and mobilisation of stakeholders and community leaders, to identify the areas of needs at the local government levels.
The statement added that a greater percentage of ailments recorded and treated among corps members had a direct relationship with poor sanitation and hygiene practices, thus necessitating the exercise by the scheme.
