The scheme announced the development on Monday via its official X handle, noting that some prospective corps members posted to Lagos State and the Federal Capital Territory will attend orientation programmes in neighbouring states.
“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.
Camp capacity limitations informed the decision, the scheme said, with only about 40 per cent of registered prospective corps members able to be accommodated in the upcoming programme.
The NYSC issued a travel advisory, warning prospective corps members not to travel at night and advising them to complete all required documentation, including printing and signing forms ahead of arrival at camp.
Prospective corps members with inconsistencies in their records will not be registered.
The scheme specifically highlighted discrepancies between the Date of Graduation on call-up letters and the Statement of Results, urging affected individuals to resolve issues with Student Affairs Officers before reporting.
Special guidance was provided for married female prospective corps members.
Those not posted to their husband’s state of domicile are to report to the nearest orientation camp.
For concessional posting based on marital grounds, applicants must submit a marriage certificate, husband’s identification, and a letter of domicile.
