The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced the postponement of the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream I Orientation Course for Prospective Corps Members deployed to Niger State.
According to a statement issued by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, the postponement became necessary due to the ongoing renovation of the NYSC Orientation Camp in Paiko, Niger State.
The camp facility is currently undergoing repairs by the Niger State Government following extensive damage caused by a recent windstorm.
NYSC said it is making urgent arrangements to secure an alternative venue for the orientation exercise and assured affected Prospective Corps Members that a new commencement date and other relevant details will be communicated in due course.
The scheme expressed regret over any inconvenience the postponement may cause to prospective corps members and their families, while appealing for understanding and cooperation.
The NYSC reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a safe and conducive environment for all participants during the orientation programme.
