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.
In a statement issued by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, the scheme said the decision was necessitated by the ongoing renovation of the NYSC Orientation Camp in Paiko, Niger State.
According to the statement, the camp suffered extensive damage following a recent windstorm, prompting the Niger State Government to undertake rehabilitation works at the facility.
As a result, NYSC Management 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 would be communicated in due course.
The scheme expressed regret over any inconvenience the postponement may cause prospective corps members and their families, while appreciating their understanding and cooperation.
The NYSC urged all affected prospective corps members to remain attentive to official communication channels for further updates regarding the orientation programme.
