Some Nigerian youth corps members undergoing their national service at the Akwa State Orientation Camp of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have lamented poor feeding despite the Nigerian government’s increment of their feeding allowance. The aggrieved corps members told SaharaReporters that the state coordinator and other officials allegedly forced bad meals on the corps members, necessitating most of them to spend their personal money buying food.

Amid economic hardship, some serving corps members have alleged that there is food scarcity and high prices at orientation camps across the nation.
