NYSC Releases Call-Up Numbers for Prospective Batch ‘C’ Corps Members, Ushering in Orientation Camps Nationwide

 The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has officially announced the release of call-up numbers for prospective corps members in the 2025 Batch ‘C’ mobilization exercise, paving the way for thousands of fresh graduates to embark on their mandatory one-year national service. This key milestone follows the successful completion of online registration from November 4 to 9, 2025, and marks the beginning of an exciting phase for Nigeria’s youth as they prepare to converge at orientation camps across the country starting November 19.

In a statement issued yesterday, NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, highlighted the scheme’s commitment to a seamless process amid rising participation from both locally and foreign-trained graduates. “The release of these call-up numbers is a testament to our dedication to efficiency and inclusivity,” Nafiu said. “Prospective corps members are urged to log in to the NYSC portal immediately to access their unique identifiers, print their call-up letters, and confirm their reporting dates to avoid any hitches.”

The call-up numbers, accessible via the official NYSC portal at www.nysc.org.ng, serve as the essential 12-character code required for verification at orientation camps. Graduates who completed registration but encountered delays are advised to check their dashboards regularly, with assurances that unresolved cases will be automatically deferred to the subsequent batch without penalty. This year’s exercise has seen a surge in applications, reflecting the resilience and enthusiasm of Nigeria’s tertiary institutions amid economic challenges.

Orientation camps for Batch ‘C’ Stream I will open on November 19, 2025, where corps members will undergo three weeks of paramilitary training, skill acquisition programs, and national integration activities. NYSC has reiterated its zero-tolerance policy for fake news and unauthorized communications, warning against scams promising expedited postings. “All official updates are disseminated through our verified channels—our website, social media handles, and individual dashboards,” the statement emphasized. Prospective corps members are encouraged to adhere strictly to guidelines, including presenting their National Examination Council (NECO) or West African Examinations Council (WAEC) results and green cards for biometric verification.

This mobilization comes at a pivotal time for Nigeria, as the NYSC continues to foster unity, discipline, and entrepreneurship among the nation’s youth. With over 300,000 participants expected annually, the scheme plays a crucial role in bridging educational gaps and contributing to national development. Those unable to secure placement in this batch will be seamlessly accommodated in the next, ensuring no graduate is left behind.
