The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has issued fresh guidelines for prospective corps members ahead of the forthcoming orientation exercise, advising them against travelling at night and outlining key registration requirements.
In a notice posted on its official X account on Monday, the scheme urged prospective corps members to prioritise their safety while travelling to their assigned orientation camps.
“Prospective corps members are advised not to travel at night to the orientation camp,” the NYSC stated.
The scheme also warned that candidates whose graduation dates on their call-up letters differ from those on their statements of results would not be registered at the orientation camp.
“Prospective corps members with discrepancies in the date of graduation on their call-up letters and the date on their statements of results will not be registered in the orientation camp,” it said.
The NYSC advised affected candidates to resolve such discrepancies with their respective Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) before reporting to camp.
“They should sort out such issues with the Student Affairs Officers before reporting to the camp,” the statement added.
The scheme further directed prospective corps members to print, sign and submit their registration forms during camp registration.
“Prospective corps members are advised to print and sign the form, which is to be submitted during registration at the orientation camp,” it said.
The NYSC also outlined the procedure for candidates seeking correction of their dates of birth.
According to the scheme, applicants are required to obtain a 19- or 20-digit WAEC Verification PIN and initiate the correction process through their NYSC dashboard. They are expected to 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 scheme urged all prospective corps members to comply with the guidelines to ensure a smooth registration process and avoid delays during the orientation exercise.
