The National Youth Service Corps has released call-up letters for prospective corps members in the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II, marking a key step in the mobilisation process for thousands of Nigerian graduates.
Reports indicate that call-up numbers and deployment details were uploaded to the NYSC portal in the early hours of Monday, with several prospective corps members (PCMs) confirming access despite technical challenges.
Many users, however, experienced difficulty logging in due to heavy traffic on the portal.
“There is traffic,” one prospective corps member said, describing delays while attempting to check their deployment status.
Across social media platforms, candidates complained about slow access and expressed concerns over delays and their states of deployment.
PCMs are advised to check their call-up letters via the official NYSC portals.
The release comes days after the scheme announced its orientation timetable. In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Caroline Embu, the corps confirmed that the orientation exercise will commence nationwide this week.
“The Orientation Course will commence with reception and registration of Prospective Corps Members this week and end at midnight of this week,” the statement read.
The swearing-in ceremony is also scheduled to hold within the week, while the orientation programme is expected to continue into next month.
The NYSC further advised prospective corps members to prioritise their safety during travel, cautioning against night journeys.
“Prospective Corps Members are advised to break their journeys once it’s 6:00 pm and continue the following morning,” the statement added.
The development signals the final phase of mobilisation as thousands of graduates prepare to begin the mandatory national service across the country.
