The National Youth Service Corps has refuted claims circulating on social media suggesting that Prospective Corps Members who have not received their Call-Up Numbers should visit State Secretariats to obtain them.
The clarification was issued in a press statement signed by the Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, on Tuesday.
“The attention of the Management of the National Youth Service Corps has been drawn to misleading information being circulated by some mischief-makers, claiming that Prospective Corps Members yet to be issued Call-Up Numbers should proceed to the State Secretariats of the Scheme for this purpose,” the statement read.
The NYSC emphasised that such messages did not originate from the organisation and urged the public to disregard them.
“The general public is strongly advised to ignore such messages, as they did not emanate from the Scheme and are untrue,” the statement added.
According to the NYSC, all communication with Prospective Corps Members is conducted exclusively through their individual dashboards and the Scheme’s officially approved social media platforms.
“For the avoidance of doubt, all Prospective Corps Members who are yet to receive their Call-Up Numbers are enjoined to exercise patience, keep checking their dashboards, and also visit the NYSC Social Media Platforms (Facebook, X, Instagram, Threads) for updates,” the statement stated.
