NYSC

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a program set up by the Nigerian government to involve Nigerian graduates in nation building and the development of the country. There is no military conscription in Nigeria, but since 1973 graduates of universities and later polytechnics have been required to take part in the National Youth Service Corps program for one year. This is known as national service year. Ahmadu Ali served as the first Director-General of the NYSC until 1975. The incumbent Director-General is Shuaibu Ibrahim. Check out NYSC Portal.

  • Accordingly, portal is now opened for all Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs) to upload list of their qualified graduates.
  • At the end of the upload, graduates of Nigerian CPIs would commence online registration registration on 3rd March 2021.
  • Similarly, foreign trained graduates would also login from 3rd March 2021 to upload their documents before being invited for pre-camp physical verification.
  • Those who failed to report for previous camp registration should also use the opportunity to login and revalidate their call-up details when the portal opens on 3rd March 2021.
  • Remobilization of corps members who earlier absconded service is on-going. Abscondees who recently completed all processes for remobilization should login now and register on or before 2nd March 2021. There will be no extension.

NYSC Member Dies in Motor Accident

The picture below has been trending on the social media, calling for the identification of the Corps Member who died in a ghastly motor accident, and body deposited in a mortuary in Plateau State. To put the issue in proper perspective, Management hereby clarifies once again, having done so on 8th February, 2020 that the lady in question.

Thlama Stephen Wudiri, was an NYSC Member serving in Gombe State. She was involved in a ghastly motor accident along Maiduguri Road which sadly claimed her life in 2016.

The post, devoid of emotional intelligence conveys an erroneous impression as though the accident just occurred.

The Scheme was grief-stricken, and felt highly diminished by Thlama’s demise. Her remains were interred over four years ago.
It is very pertinent to advise that people, as a matter of necessity should be circumspect in forwarding unverified posts that could cause offence and grief, such as the one trending.
May her soul continue to rest peacefully and blissfully in the Lord; and may God comfort her family.
