The Lagos State University, LASU has distanced itself from a viral poster circulating on social media, which claimed that the institution’s Students’ Affairs Division had arranged transportation for Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) heading to the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC Orientation Camps across the country.
According to the poster, the supposed arrangement would see buses depart from LASU’s Ojo campus at 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 24, 2025.
However, in a statement issued by the Deputy Registrar/Coordinator of the Centre for Information and Public Relations, Mrs. Oluwayemisi Thomas-Onashile, the university categorically denied authorising such logistics.
“The Students’ Affairs Division is not involved in any such arrangement and has not authorised any individual, group, or organisation to liaise with PCMs for transportation to NYSC camps,” the statement read.
LASU further clarified that transportation to orientation camps remains a private undertaking for PCMs and does not fall under the institution’s responsibility. The university also disclosed that it is taking steps to trace and address the impersonation.
While wishing all graduates a safe transition to camp, LASU urged corps members to exercise caution and avoid engaging unauthorised agents in order to protect their personal safety.
