NYSC opens portal for Batch B registration

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has opened its portal for the 2018 Batch B mobilisation exercise.

In a statement released on Monday, the scheme said registration will open on July 10 and close July 16.

“All Nigerians who have graduated from universities and mono/polytechnics both at home and abroad are to register for the mobilisation,” the statement read.

Guidelines were also provided to assist prospective corp members with their registration.

“Applicants are advised to have a functional e-mail address and mobile number to ease the registration process and also to be maintained throughout the service year.

“Such e-mail address and phone numbers must be maintained throughout the service year,” NYSC wrote in a statement shared on the official Facebook page.

“For locally-trained graduates, only those whose names appear on the senate/academic board approved result lists submitted by their institutions will have access to register on the NYSC portal

“Foreign-trained prospective corps members should note that only those that graduated from accredited institutions are qualified for mobilization.

“Any foreign-trained prospective corps member who is in doubt of the accreditation status of his/her institution should approach the federal ministry of education for verification.”

The exercise, which lasts for one year, is compulsory for Nigerians who graduate from tertiary institutions before age 30.
