The House of Representatives has ordered an investigation into the death of Etimbuk Sunday, a corps member who died earlier this month at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Enugu State.
According to reports, Sunday's condition worsened after treatment was administered at the camp. Concerns have been raised about an alleged delay in referring him to a hospital for further medical attention, a decision that many believe may have cost him his life.
The probe now puts the spotlight on the standard of healthcare available to corps members at NYSC orientation camps across the country. How the House proceeds, and what the investigation uncovers, could have real consequences for the thousands of young Nigerians who pass through those gates every year.
