The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced the postponement of the Orientation Course for prospective Corps Members deployed to Niger State for the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream I NYSC Service Year until a date to be announced later.
This was contained in a press statement issued by the Director, Information and Public Relations of the NYSC, Ms Caroline Embu, on Sunday, 14th June, 2026.
This decision, NYSC said, “has become necessary due to the ongoing renovation of the NYSC Orientation Camp in Paiko, Niger State, being undertaken by the Niger State government following the extensive damage caused by a recent windstorm.”
The Scheme said a new date for the commencement of the Orientation Course and other relevant details will be communicated to the affected Corps Members in due course.
“The NYSC Management sincerely regrets any inconvenience this postponement may cause the prospective Corps Members and their families and appreciates their understanding and co-operation”, the statement concluded.
