However, no death was recorded as being reported in some sections of the media, according to report by the NYSC management.
The director of Information and Public Relations of the scheme, Eddy Megwa, who issued the statement said though there was a heavy downpour in the early hours of the day with unusual thunderstorm, the only injured female corps member was immediately stabilised by the dedicated Orientation Camp Medical Team from Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia.
“He said the corps member was immediately referred to a hospital in Umuahia for prompt medical evaluation.
“The corps member is very stable and responding to treatment accordingly, whereas, the parents of the corps member have been contacted and they have confirmed that their daughter is in a very stable condition.”
The blogger that published the information did not get the facts of the matter from NYSC before publishing, the statement added.
NYSC as a proactive organisation is committed to the health, well-being and security of her corps members at all times.
