NYSC begins online mobilisation of corps members

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) will with effect from the 2014 Batch ‘C’ mobilisation exercise, begin online mobilisation of prospective corps members.

According to the government agency, all prospective corps members are to register online at the NYSC portal, www.nysc.org.ng or portal.nysc.gov.ng or go to www.nysc.gov.ng to link the portal.

NYSC asked all graduates from Nigerian universities, polytechnics and monotechnics and those affiliated to them (whether full-time or part-time) to carry out their biometric-enabled online registration using their matriculation numbers and JAMB Registration numbers.

Prospective corps members who were mobilised earlier but for one reason or the other could not report for the orientation course must equally register online, the agency says.

Prospective corps members who wish to get their call-up numbers by SMS/email and then print their call-up letters online are to pay ₦4,000 using any bank’s Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards or the PIN vending option from any bank in Nigeria. This feature also allows them to print and reprint their call-up letters online should they lose their call-up letters and facilitates accelerated camp processing at the Orientation camps.

However, those who wish to collect their call-up letters from their Institution need not pay the ₦4,000 after the online registration.

Meanwhile, with effect from 2015 Batch ‘A’ all prospective Corps members have to print their Call-up letters online, according to NYSC.

The online registration for NYSC 2014 Batch ‘C’ service commenced on the August 20 and ends on October 12, 2014.
