The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has issued fresh guidelines for prospective corps members ahead of the forthcoming orientation camp, urging them to avoid travelling at night and comply with registration requirements to prevent delays.
In a notice obtained by The News Chronicle on its official X account on Monday, the scheme advised 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 prospective corps members whose graduation dates on their call-up letters differ from those on their statements of results would not be registered at the orientation camps.
“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,” the statement read.
According to the NYSC, affected candidates are expected to resolve such discrepancies with their Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) before reporting to camp.
“They should sort out such issues with the Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) before reporting to the camp,” it added.
The scheme further advised prospective corps members to complete all necessary documentation before arriving at the orientation camp, including printing, signing, and submitting their registration forms during camp registration.
The NYSC also outlined the procedure for correcting dates of birth, directing affected candidates to obtain a 19- or 20-digit WAEC Verification PIN and complete the correction through their NYSC dashboard.
According to the scheme, applicants should access the “Correction of Date of Birth” link, enter the WAEC Verification PIN, select the appropriate WAEC examination type, examination year, and examination number, and then verify and submit the request.
The NYSC urged all prospective corps members to adhere strictly to the guidelines to ensure a seamless registration process and avoid complications during the orientation exercise.
