NYSC opens camp on Thursday, call-up letters ‘can now be printed’

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has instructed prospective corps members to print their call-up letters for the 2016 Batch B (stream 1) orientation course.

In a message posted on Twitter in the early hours of Monday, the scheme also released the timeline for the camp registration.

“Callup Letter can now be printed for PCMs slated for Stream 1. They are to login to their respective dashboard with their email & password.

“If the Print Callup Letter link is not on the dashboard, it means PCM is slated for Stream 2 scheduled for Jan 2017. No cause for alarm.

“Registration in the camp for Stream 1, 2016 Batch ‘B’ commences on Thursday 24th November & closes by 12 midnight on the 25th November 2016.”

Prospective corp members were initially worried that the orientation course would not take place after the presidency wrote the senate seeking funds for mobilisation of corp members.

In October, the management of NYSC wrote various universities across the country, advising them to reduce the number of students to be sent for mobilisation.

In several messages on Twitter, prospective corps members reacted to their postings. Sulaiman Kazaure, the director-general of the scheme, recently told journalists that the limited capacity of orientation camps necessitated the partial mobilisation of Batch ‘B’ corp members.

Kazaure also assured that all necessary steps have been taken to ensure the mobilisation of all eligible prospective corps members in the next service year.
