The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that the 2025 Batch ‘C’ Orientation Course will officially commence on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, in all orientation camps across the country.
In a statement released on Wednesday and signed by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Mrs Caroline Embu, the scheme disclosed that camp registration for all corps members will run from Wednesday, November 19, to midnight of Friday, November 21, 2025.
According to the timetable, the swearing-in ceremony for the new corps members is scheduled for Friday, November 21, while the closing ceremony will hold on Tuesday, December 9, 2025.
Embu added that the NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, has extended his best wishes to all prospective corps members, urging them to avoid night journeys and ensure safe travel to their respective camps.
The announcement comes barely a day after the NYSC confirmed the release of call-up numbers for the 2025 Batch C prospective corps members via its official X handle (formerly Twitter).
The management had earlier explained that, due to limited camp capacities across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, only about 40 per cent of registered candidates would be accommodated in the upcoming exercise.
It, however, assured those who could not be placed in the current batch that they would be automatically deferred to the next orientation programme.
“Rest assured, those not accommodated will be automatically moved to the next batch, which will take place soon after Batch C exercise,” the statement added.
