Abuja, NIGERIA — The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced a slight adjustment to the commencement dates for the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II Orientation Course specifically for Enugu and Osun states.
In a statement released on Monday, April 20, 2026, by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, the scheme revealed that the orientation exercise for these two states will now commence on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, and conclude on Monday, May 18, 2026. Okay News reports that this one-week delay is necessitated by ongoing extensive renovations at the permanent orientation camps by the respective state governments.
For Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) deployed to the other 34 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the original schedule remains unchanged. The orientation exercise for those regions will hold from Wednesday, April 22, 2026, to Tuesday, May 12, 2026.
The NYSC management urged all affected PCMs to take note of these specific dates for strict compliance. The Director emphasized that the adjustments are aimed at ensuring a more conducive environment for the corps members during their three-week stay in camp.
The NYSC also extended its well-wishes for a safe journey to all PCMs traveling to their various states of deployment across the country.
