Reacting to the announcement Nigerians took to twitter to dismiss the announcement as a mere distraction from the ongoing #EndSARS protest in various parts of the country. We bring you some of thee reacions below.
Do the needful before the Youths call for your resignation.
As a Minister of the Youth,you should be in support of the ongoing protests and support in every way possible.
Without the Youths,your job is useless.

It would be recalled that NYSC orientation camping activities were earlier suspended in March 2020 due to the ravaging incidence of Covid-19 pandemic.
