NYSC Makes NIN Mandatory for 2024 Batch B Registration

By Muhammad A. Aliyu

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that the National Identity Number (NIN) will be a mandatory requirement for the 2024 Batch B service year registration.

The announcement was made on the scheme’s official social media handle on Saturday, emphasizing the importance of NIN for prospective corps members (PCMs).

“This is to inform all prospective corps members that National Identification Number (NIN) is a compulsory requirement for them to register for NYSC mobilisation into national service,” the NYSC management stated.

However, some PCMs have reported encountering issues linking their NIN to the registration platform.

Addressing these concerns, the NYSC assured them that it is collaborating with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to resolve the technical issues.

“The NYSC is aware of issues affecting the National Identification Number (NIN) linkage in the ongoing online registration for the 2024 Batch ‘B’ Service Year,” it said in a separate post.

The commission advised affected PCMs to exercise patience while awaiting a solution, underscoring its commitment to ensuring a smooth registration process.
