NYSC Extends Registration Date For Prospective Corps Members

The National Youth Service Corps(NYSC) has advised all 2020 Batch ‘B’ Stream 1 A Prospective Corps Members (PCMS) to formalize their registration, adding that “with due consideration of appeals from some PCMs who could not meet up with the dates, Management decided to extend the cut-off date for registration to 12 midnight, Sunday, 15th November, 2020.”

NYSC announced this on Friday via its Facebook page.

Recall that the Orientation programme (which is ongoing) for 2020 Batch ‘B’ Stream 1 ‘A’ Corps Members started on November 10.

The Corps noted that the new covid-19 measures imposed across the camps may have slowed down the registration process for members.

But it warned those yet to registered to do so otherwise they may lose the chance to join other batch.

The one-year national service scheme is mandatory for all graduates from Nigerian Tertiary institutions.

The statement further reads:

“In compliance with COVID-19 safety protocols, the PCMs have been assigned particular dates to report to camp in order to guard against overcrowding.

“Regrettably, some PCMs have not been able to abide by the dates given to them to report for the Orientation course.

“Accordingly, all the PCMs scheduled for this stream 1A that are yet to report to camp for registration are enjoined to take advantage of this opportunity and do so.

“It is important that you take note as failure to go with your batch/stream may not automatically guarantee you inclusion in the next stream or batch. Therefore, avail yourself of the opportunity presented by this extension.”
