The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has issued fresh guidelines for prospective corps members ahead of the next orientation exercise, warning against night travel and introducing stricter measures to prevent registration challenges at camps nationwide.
In a notice published on its official X handle on Monday, the scheme urged prospective corps members to prioritise their safety by travelling only during the daytime.
“Prospective Corps Members are advised not to travel at night to the orientation camp,” the NYSC stated.
The scheme also announced that candidates whose graduation dates differ from those stated on their call-up letters will not be admitted into orientation camps until the discrepancies are resolved.
“Prospective Corps Members with discrepancies in the date of graduation on their call-up letters and the date on their statement of results will not be registered in the orientation camp,” it said.
According to the NYSC, affected candidates should regularise their records through their Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) before reporting for camp.
“They should sort out such issues with the Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) before reporting to the camp,” the statement added.
The scheme further directed prospective corps members to complete all registration requirements before arriving at camp, including printing, signing and submitting the required registration form during documentation.
The NYSC also outlined the procedure for correcting dates of birth, advising applicants to obtain a 19- or 20-digit WAEC Verification PIN and process the correction through their NYSC dashboard.
The procedure requires candidates to access the Correction of Date of Birth portal, enter their WAEC Verification PIN, select the examination type, examination year and examination number before verifying and submitting the request.
The scheme urged all prospective corps members to comply fully with the guidelines to ensure a seamless registration process and avoid delays during the orientation exercise.
