The National Youth Service Corps has released the deployment details for prospective corps members of the 2026 Batch A Stream 1, confirming that call-up letters are now available for printing.

The scheme made the announcement on Monday via its official X handle, stating that some prospective corps members posted to Lagos State and the Federal Capital Territory will undergo their orientation programmes in neighbouring states due to limited capacity.

“Some prospective corps members deployed to Lagos will have their orientation course in Ekiti, Kwara, Ondo, Ogun and Osun camps while some deployed to FCT will be in Kaduna, Niger and Nasarawa camps,” the NYSC said.

The NYSC explained that “only about 40 per cent of registered Prospective Corps Members can be accommodated for the upcoming orientation programme.”

The scheme also issued a travel advisory to prospective corps members, stressing that, “Prospective corps members are advised not to travel at night to the orientation camp.”

It further reminded them to complete documentation ahead of arrival, noting that required forms must be printed and signed before camp registration.

In a separate notice, the Scheme warned that prospective corps members with discrepancies in their records would not be registered at the orientation camp.

“Prospective Corps Members with discrepancies in the Date of Graduation on their call-up letters and the date on their Statement of Results will not be registered in the Orientation Camp,” the Scheme stated.

The scheme urged affected individuals to resolve such issues with their Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) before reporting to the camp.

The NYSC also provided guidelines for married female prospective corps members.

In one notice, it said, “All married female prospective corps members who are not posted to the state of husband’s domicile should report to the orientation camp nearest to them for registration.”

For those seeking concessional posting, the scheme stated, “Married Female Prospective Corps Members who want to apply for Concessional Posting based on Marital Grounds are to upload the following documents: Marriage Certificate, Identity of Husband, Letter of Place of Domicile from Husband.”

Meanwhile the NYSC has reiterated its zero tolerance on any form of indiscipline as the 2026 Batch A orientation course for new corps members begins nationwide on January 21.
