Nigeria’s National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is urging prospective corps members to avoid travelling at night to orientation camps and has introduced fresh registration guidelines ahead of the next orientation exercise.
In a notice published on its official X account, the scheme said safety should remain a top priority for all prospective corps members travelling to their assigned camps.
“Prospective Corps Members are advised not to travel at night to the orientation camp,” the NYSC said.
The scheme also warned that candidates whose graduation dates on their call-up letters do not match the dates on their statements of results will not be allowed to register at the orientation camp.
“Prospective Corps Members with discrepancies in the date of graduation on their call-up letters and the date on their statement of results will not be registered in the orientation camp,” the statement said.
The NYSC advised affected candidates to resolve such discrepancies with their Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) before reporting to camp.
“They should sort out such issues with the Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) before reporting to the camp,” it added.
The scheme further reminded prospective corps members to print, sign and submit their registration forms during camp registration to avoid delays in the documentation process.
For candidates seeking correction of their dates of birth, the NYSC directed them to obtain a 19- or 20-digit WAEC Verification PIN and complete the correction process through their NYSC dashboard.
According to the scheme, applicants should access the “Correction of Date of Birth” link, enter the WAEC Verification PIN, select the appropriate WAEC examination type, examination year and examination number before verifying and submitting the request.
The NYSC urged all prospective corps members to comply with the new guidelines to ensure a smooth registration process and prevent avoidable challenges during the orientation exercise.
