NYSC MOBILIZATION PROCESS

With the start of the ‘A’ Stream II 2023 programme approaching, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilization process is set to begin.

We recognize that numerous Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) are unaware of how the NYSC mobilization process operates, which is why we’ve produced this article to educate them.

Here are the steps involved in the NYSC mobilization process:

1. Graduates must first complete their final clearance in their respective institutions before NYSC mobilization begins.
2. After completing their final clearance, graduates need to obtain their statement of results, which is required for registration in the NYSC Orientation Camp.
3. Graduates should verify their names on the JAMB Matriculation list, as failure to do so will result in the inability to register for NYSC.
4. Graduates should also verify their names on the Senate list, which is uploaded by their institution on the NYSC portal.
5. Only those whose names are on the NYSC Senate list will be eligible to register for NYSC.
6. Graduates can register for NYSC at a nearby Cyber cafe while waiting for their statement of result to be available. They should ensure that all information inputted into the system is correct.
7. After a successful online registration, graduates should print their NYSC green card, which shows personal data such as name, callup number, and graduation date.
8. Graduates should wait for their NYSC call up letter to be issued, which will show the state they have been deployed to, the date to report, and other important information.
9. Graduates should ensure that all required documents are prepared for registration at the NYSC Orientation Camp.
10. Lastly, graduates are welcomed to the NYSC Orientation Camp.

GUIDELINES FOR MOBILIZATION OF GRADUATES INTO NATIONAL SERVICE

As part of efforts aimed at ensuring that only eligible graduates who pass through duly accredited full time courses are mobilized for participation in the National Youth Service Corps, the NYSC Management is collaborating with relevant regulatory bodies of the respective Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs) – the National Universities Commission (NUC) for Universities and degree awarding institutions and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) for Mono/Polytechnics as well as the entry admission examination body- Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

Accordingly, the data of all prospective corps members as submitted for mobilization by their respective institutions, are subjected to screening for conformity with the requirements of these regulatory/examination bodies. In this regard, all prospective corps members whose admissions are not known to JAMB will be deemed to be improperly admitted. The admission status of such students will require the affected CPIs to regularise same with JAMB.

Similarly, all Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs) have been advised to abide by the extant admission quota approved by the NUC and NBTE respectively in making submission for mobilization. Any submission in excess of quotas approved will not be accepted. Graduates of courses not duly accredited by these regulatory bodies will not be mobilized for service.

It should be stated, for emphasis, that the regularization of admissions with JAMB is the duty of the Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs), just as the confirmation of approved admission quota for each course and the determination of their accreditation status is the prerogative of the regulatory bodies – NUC and NBTE

It is imperative to state that the NYSC will not act as a liaison office between the Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs) and these regulatory/examination bodies. This much had earlier been brought to the notice of CPIs since the  Pre-Mobilization Workshop held in Ilorin, Kwara State on Thursday 16th January, 2013. Corps Producing Institutions which are unable to conclude the regularization exercise during the 2023 Batch ‘A’ service year could still be considered in subsequent Batches when the outstanding issues would have been resolved by the institution.

It has become expedient to bring this information to the attention of the general public for necessary guidance.
