National Youth Service Corps NYSC is a hope of every Nigerian graduate, nobody want to be left out or found wanting as the matter of fact a lot of graduates go along way as far as reducing their age or correcting their birthday date or what is known as date of birth correction let me be official for once. It is said that NYSC scheme is the only programme and organization that is only occupied by graduates. In other words the eligibility or the entry qualification, or for you to be enlisted and address as corps member you must have been a first degree holder or an HND holder to qualified for enlistment.
Hence, every Nigerian
graduate is eager to wear the khaki and obey the Clarion call.
I want to be sharing
with you briefly on what I call the four cardinal programme of NYSC
For NYSC to achieve it
main goal which was to develop common ties among Nigerian youth and promote
national unity and integration, as well as develop a sense of corporate
existence and common destiny of the people of Nigeria.
They are;
- Mobilization/Orientation course
- Primary Assignment
- Community Development Service (CDS)
- Winding-up/Passing out
Here is the brief
explanation of each of the programmes. To fully equipped corps members on what
to expect during the service year. On that that note we would like to begin
with the first one Mobilization/Orientation course nysc date of birth correction
For any graduate to be
mobilized you must have been cleared by your respective schools. That is to say
the senate which is the highest decision maker of the tertiary institution in
Nigeria University must have screened you and scrutiny your results and
herewith approved it.
Then your institution
will upload the senate masters list to the NYSC data base if your name is not
there, sorry you can try again later because the number you are calling is not
available at the moment.
ONLINE REGISTRATION
NYSC online portal will
be open for registration for three to four weeks. If you want to serve in a
state like Lagos, Abuja, Rivers Enugu, Delta and the likes I will advise you to
do that within the first two days of the registration. The reason being that,
this state is usually filled up less than 24 hours of registration as more
prospective corps members want to serve in those states. You will be required
to pay a minimum of three thousand naira through remita to the NYSC account for
logistics.
The date of the
orientation course will be announced in due course by the NYSC through their
official website and social media platforms. get your nysc medical report here

orientation camp gate, every prospective corps member is subject to manual and
electronic security checks by the quarters guard before he/she will be allowed

orientation camp with unauthorized objects. However if any one comes with any
of the items so prohibited on camp as specified in the call-up letters, he/she
MUST surrender such items to the NYSC security Committee for the entire period
of the orientation course . The item so collected will be returned to the owner
at the end of the orientation course.

- Original copy of your medical certificate of fitness
- Original copy of your Green Card
- 8 Copy of your recent passport photograph of any background

NYSC State Allawee
Let me make this
clarification here some school are fond of making money from innocent graduate
on the ground that they want to renew their id card for NYSC service year. I
want to categorically state here that you can use any id card other than your
school id card such as National ID card, International passport, Driver’s
License, Voters Card and your school id card that your school term ‘ expired’
Id card. Be guided, to be inform is to be transform do not allowed anybody to
swings you about.
Move to the ICT table
for digital verification, at this point the sheep will be separated from the
goat if you sent your best friend to do your registration for you while you
were at home. Someone did the biometric captured for you. You will be cleared
and issued with registration slip which contains your bio data, state code,
platoon number, call-up number among others.
You must go to the next
table for your meal ticket and number tag that contain your state code number
and that will serve as your temporary identity card during the orientation
course pending when the plastic NYSC id card will be issued to you, usually two
days to the end of the orientation course.
Allawee matter; bank
staff will be at the hall to open account for you; this account will be used
specifically for your NYSC monthly allowance. Every corps members will be
advise to open account with the particular bank in which their state code range
fall in. please be guided, I suppose at this point you pause and ask question
for more clarification , because a lot of corps member’s fall victim in this
very issue. If your state code number arrange is among those who are to open
account with two bank please, please do not open one and leave one , please
open the two account to avoid story that touch you that while others are
celebrating the bank alert your own won’t an exemption. A word they said is
enough for the wise.
PLATOON IDENTIFICATION
Just after the account
opening process, the next item on the list is the collection of your NYSC kits
which is usually done on platoon basis. Before we get to that, did I just hear
someone said what is platoon again? Yes because there are usually so many corps
members on camp. For easy identification and orderliness in the camp, corps
members are divided into ten groups known and address as platoon after the
registration. Each platoon has a platoon officer (NYSC official ), a Drill
Instructor (soldier), a physical training instructor ( man ‘O’ war personnel)
and a platoon leader ( corps member).
Now, this lead us to
the next question, how do I know the platoon I belong to? Nice question, just
after your digital verification at the ICT table, you will be issued with a
registration slip, this slip contain your state code number, your platoon
number and your state of deployment.
How to identify your
platoon, the last digit of your state code number for instant, a corps member
with the state code number of BN/18A/8536 the BN signified Benue state, 18A:
means 2018 Batch A, 8536 means you are in platoon 6. It’s as simple as that.
NYSC KITS/UNIFORM

after your registration at the registration centre, you are to move immediately
to the store for the collection of your NYSC Kits. Usually done on the platoon
basis, each corps member is entitled to a set of NYSC kit items Comprising of
the following;One NYSC Khaki cap
