The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has released call-up letters for prospective corps members in the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II mobilisation exercise.
Checks by Hobnob News on Monday, supported by screenshot evidence from candidates, showed that call-up numbers and deployment details were uploaded on the NYSC portal in the early hours of the day.
Confirmations from several prospective corps members indicated that the portal became active overnight, although many users reported difficulties accessing it due to heavy traffic.
“There is traffic,” one prospective corps member said, describing delays encountered while trying to log in and confirm deployment status.
Across social media platforms, candidates also complained about slow access, the timing of the release, and concerns regarding their states of deployment.
Prospective corps members can check their call-up letters via the official NYSC portals: https://portal.nysc.org.ng/nysc2/ or https://portal.nysc.org.ng/nysc1/.
The development comes days after the scheme announced the timetable for the orientation exercise. In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Caroline Embu, the orientation course is scheduled to commence nationwide on April 22, 2026.
“The Orientation Course will commence with reception and registration of Prospective Corps Members on Wednesday, 22nd April 2026, and end at midnight of Friday, 24th April 2026,” the statement read.
According to the schedule, the swearing-in ceremony will take place on April 24, while the full orientation programme will run until May 12.
The NYSC also advised prospective corps members to prioritise their safety while travelling to their respective orientation camps, warning against night journeys.
“Prospective Corps Members are advised to break their journeys once it’s 6:00 pm and continue the following morning,” the statement added.
The release of the call-up letters marks the final phase of mobilisation, as thousands of Nigerian graduates prepare to begin the mandatory national service programme aimed at fostering unity and national integration
