The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that the 2025 Batch ‘A’ Stream II orientation course will begin nationwide on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at all NYSC camps.
Registration for prospective corps members opens on June 11 and closes at midnight on Friday, June 13. The official swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for June 13, with the orientation programme ending on Tuesday, July 1.
All corps members are required to report to the camps specified in their call-up letters. Graduates trained outside Nigeria must present their international passports alongside original documents previously uploaded.
Mandatory documents for registration include the original call-up letter, degree certificate or statement of result, valid school ID, and a certificate of medical fitness issued by a government or military hospital and stamped by the Nigeria Medical Association.
Graduates in regulated professions must provide proof of registration with their professional bodies. Polytechnic and monotechnic graduates are also required to present their National Diploma certificates.
The NYSC warned that presenting fake credentials will result in arrest, prosecution, and disqualification from the programme.
Corps members who lose their call-up letters must obtain a police report and sworn affidavit. Those who received letters from their institutions should return for reissuance, while those who printed theirs online can reprint from the NYSC portal.
Special arrangements allow married, pregnant, and nursing mothers posted to states different from their husbands’ residence to report to camps in their current state, provided they submit proof of marriage and the husband’s residence.
Due to security concerns, corps members are advised to use only transportation companies operating from government-approved motor parks. Night travel is discouraged; corps members traveling late should spend the night in military barracks, police stations, NYSC secretariats, or corps lodges nearby.
The NYSC Act mandates legal consequences for those who refuse to report or attempt to participate illegally in the scheme.
