The National Youth Service Corps has released call up letters for prospective corps members participating in the 2026 Batch B Stream I exercise, with the scheme advising all mobilised graduates to avoid night travel when heading to their orientation camps.

The scheme disclosed on Monday that some prospective corps members deployed to Lagos State will undertake their orientation course in camps located in Ekiti, Kwara, Ondo, Ogun and Osun states. Similarly, those posted to the Federal Capital Territory will have their orientation exercise in Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi, Kano and Kaduna states.

Prospective corps members were directed to print and sign their call up forms ahead of registration at their respective orientation camps.

NYSC warned that prospective corps members whose dates of graduation on their call up letters differ from those on their statements of results will not be registered at the orientation camps. Those affected were advised to resolve such discrepancies through their Student Affairs Officers before reporting for camp.

The scheme further outlined the procedure for correcting dates of birth on its portal, noting that affected corps members are required to obtain a 19 or 20 digit WAEC verification PIN, complete their registration, log in to their dashboard, access the date of birth correction link, enter the required examination details, verify the information and submit the request.

NYSC also directed prospective corps members whose names on their certificates or statements of results do not exactly match the names uploaded on the portal to contact their institutions and ensure the records are properly aligned before proceeding to camp.

The release of the deployment list marks one of the key stages in the NYSC mobilisation process, coming ahead of the orientation course for newly mobilised corps members.
