The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has released the deployment details for this year’s Batch A Stream 1 prospective corps members, confirming that call-up letters are now available for download.
The scheme made the announcement via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, revealing that some corps members posted to Lagos State and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) will undergo their orientation programmes in neighbouring states due to limited camp capacity.
“Some prospective corps members deployed to Lagos will have their orientation course in Ekiti, Kwara, Ondo, Ogun and Osun camps, while some deployed to FCT will be in Kaduna, Niger and Nasarawa camps,” the NYSC stated.
According to the scheme, the decision was informed by accommodation constraints at the orientation camps.
“Only about 40 per cent of registered Prospective Corps Members can be accommodated for the upcoming orientation programme,” the NYSC explained.
The NYSC also issued a travel advisory to ensure the safety of corps members heading to orientation camps across the country.
“Prospective corps members are advised not to travel at night to the orientation camp,” the statement warned.
The scheme further reminded prospective corps members to complete all required documentation before arrival.
“Required forms must be printed and signed before camp registration,” it added.
In a separate notice, the NYSC cautioned that corps members with inconsistent academic records would not be allowed to register at the orientation camps.
“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 scheme said.
It advised affected individuals to resolve such issues before reporting.
“They should sort out such issues with the Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) before reporting to the camp.”
The NYSC also issued specific instructions for married female prospective corps members.
“All married female prospective corps members who are not posted to the state of husband’s domicile should report to the orientation camp nearest to them for registration,” the notice stated.
For those seeking concessional posting on marital grounds, the scheme outlined the required documents.
“Married Female Prospective Corps Members who want to apply for Concessional Posting based on Marital Grounds are to upload the following documents: Marriage Certificate, Identity of Husband, and Letter of Place of Domicile from Husband.”
Meanwhile, the NYSC has reiterated its stance on discipline as the Batch A orientation exercise begins nationwide this month.
The scheme warned that it would not tolerate any form of indiscipline among corps members during the orientation programme.
