NYSC Releases Call-Up Letters for 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II: Orientation Camp to Begin April 22 [Check Deployment Here]

 ​The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has officially released the call-up letters for Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) in the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II. Following weeks of anticipation, the portal became active in the early hours of Monday morning, April 20, 2026, allowing thousands of graduates to finally discover their states of deployment and primary assignment details.

​While many candidates have successfully accessed their dashboard, reports indicate that the NYSC portal is currently experiencing heavy traffic, leading to slow loading times for some users. The management has confirmed that the nationwide Orientation Course is scheduled to commence on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, and will conclude on May 12, 2026. PCMs are expected to report to their designated camps within the first three days for registration and the official swearing-in ceremony.

​How to Check and Print Your NYSC Call-Up Letter:

To avoid delays, PCMs are advised to follow these official steps:

​Crucial Safety and Travel Advisory:

In light of the commencement of travels to various states, the NYSC management, through its spokesperson Caroline Embu, has issued a stern warning against night journeys. To ensure the safety of all corps members:

• ​Avoid Night Travel: All PCMs are advised to break their journeys once it is 6:00 PM and seek shelter in safe locations like Military Barracks, Police Stations, or NYSC Secretariats.
• ​Official Documentation: Ensure you print your call-up letter in color and keep all original documents (Green Card, Medical Certificate of Fitness, etc.) ready for camp registration.
• ​Stay Vigilant: Only board vehicles at government-approved motor parks and avoid "one-chance" or unregistered transport services.

​Final Tip for PCMs:

The 21-day orientation exercise is the foundation of your service year. Whether you were posted to your dream state or a far-flung region, embrace the opportunity to learn a new culture and build lasting networks.
