Scheme outlines registration requirements, date-of-birth correction process and documents needed for orientation camp.
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has issued fresh guidelines for prospective corps members ahead of the upcoming orientation exercise, warning them against travelling at night and outlining key registration requirements.
In a notice posted on its official X handle on Monday, the scheme urged prospective corps members to prioritise their safety while travelling to their designated 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 with discrepancies between the graduation date on their call-up letters and the date 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 statement of results will not be registered in the orientation camp,” it said.
The NYSC advised affected candidates to resolve such issues with their respective Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) before reporting to camp.
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,” the statement added.
The NYSC also released guidelines for correcting dates of birth, advising applicants to obtain a 19- or 20-digit WAEC Verification PIN before initiating the process through their NYSC dashboard.
According to the scheme, applicants are required to access the “Correction of Date of Birth” link, enter their WAEC Verification PIN, select the appropriate WAEC examination type, year and examination number, verify the information and submit the request.
The NYSC urged all prospective corps members to comply with the guidelines to ensure seamless registration and avoid unnecessary delays during the orientation exercise.
