The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has officially announced the commencement of the 2025 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Orientation Course across all NYSC orientation camps in Nigeria. This was confirmed in a statement signed by the NYSC management on Monday.
According to the statement, the orientation course will run based on the following schedule:

“All prospective Corps Members (PCM) slated for the 2025 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Orientation Course are advised to proceed to their respective camps as stated on their Call-up Letters,” the statement read.
Foreign-trained graduates are reminded to report to the camp with their International Passports and original copies of all uploaded documents for verification.
The NYSC also advised all PCMs to carefully read through their Call-up Letters and take note of every instruction. According to the statement, “Prospective Corps Members are urged to carefully read through the call up letter and internalize all the relevant information therein.”
To reduce travel risks, PCMs have been strongly advised to use only government-approved motor parks and transportation companies when heading to their assigned orientation camps.
“Prospective Corps Members are advised to patronize vehicles at government approved motor parks and transportation companies only,” the NYSC management emphasized, “This is to reduce the risks of falling prey to criminals and other security hazards.”
The NYSC also reiterated its warning against night travel. “The NYSC advises prospective Corps Members to avoid night journeys. Once it is 6.00pm, they are enjoined to break their journeys and pass the night at any military or police barracks, NYSC Secretariats or NYSC Corps Lodges nearest to their disembarkment location,” the agency warned.
Corps Members who are graduates of Monotechnics and Polytechnics are expected to present their National Diploma certificates in addition to other documents for registration at orientation camps across the country.
On the issue of fake documentation, the NYSC said, “On no account should prospective Corps Members present fake documents for registration. Anyone who does so will be apprehended, handed over to the law enforcement and duly prosecuted.”
The Corps also addressed the procedure in the event of a missing Call-up Letter. “In the event of any loss of Call-up Letter, the prospective Corps Member who collected the Call-up letter from his/her institution is advised to obtain Police Report and Sworn Affidavit and thereafter report to the institution of graduation for further necessary action,” it stated.
“Those who initially printed their Call-up Letters on-line can re-print the Call-up Letter in the case of loss,” the management added.
Failure to report for service as directed is also punishable by law. “Any person who fails to report for service in the Service Corps as directed in the Call-up Letter and/or refuses to make himself available for service in the Service Corps shall be prosecuted in line with the provisions of Section 13 sub-section 1(a) and (b) of the NYSC Act, Cap. N84, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004,” the NYSC clarified.
The management further stated, “Any person who is not eligible to participate in the Service Corps or has been duly issued with a Certificate of National Service or Certificate of Exemption but so participates or attempts to so participate shall be prosecuted in line with Section 13 sub-section 2(a) and (b) of the NYSC Act, Cap. N84, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.”
In an inclusive gesture, the NYSC stated that all married, pregnant and nursing mothers posted to states other than their husbands’ states of residence may report to camps in their states of domicile. However, these individuals must present the following documents:
i. Evidence of marriage
ii. Acceptable identification of their husbands (data page of international passport, driver’s license, national identity card etc)
