OFFICIAL: NYSC postpones Batch A orientation
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has postponed to April 27, the three-week Batch A Orientation course earlier scheduled to start on March 30.
Abosede Aderibigbe, NYSC’s director of press and public relations, made the confirmation while responding to an inquiry by TheCable.
Prospective corps members were confused on Friday when a message started circulating online that the orientation programme had been postponed.
A statement on the NYSC camp appeared to validate their fears, but there were against reports that the strange time table was the work of hackers who had supposedly gained access to the NYSC website.
The statement on NYSC doubted by corps members
Aderibigbe did not state any reason for the shift, but apologised to the prospective corps members over any inconvenience that the development could create.
“We wish to confirm the shift in date for the commencement of the 2016 Batch ‘A’ Orientation course,” she said.
“The new time-table for the course is as follows:
Stream I
Commencement: Wednesday, 27th April, 2016
Swearing-in ceremony: Friday, 29th April, 2016, Close of Camp: Friday, 13th May, 2016
Stream II
Commencement: Saturday, 21st May, 2016 Swearing-in ceremony: Monday, 23rd May, 2016
Close of Camp: Monday, 6th June, 2016
“We also use this opportunity to express our sincere regrets over any inconveniences this change of date might cause to Prospective Corps Members and other esteemed stakeholders.”
All things work for good to those that love God.
Why is this service mandatory ??? because of it one will spend almost a year before the service after graduation…this is not a good idea. With school certificate one cannot get job. I beg this Government to make it optional right from this batch. pls
@thenas service isn’t mandatory if u don’t want to do it get an Exemption Letter, its just that companies and industries just want to see it, to confirm u went for service so choose your destiny.
you have to be at least 30 to get an exemption letter.. or has that changed?
All things work for good to those who love God.
I feel not okay when I heard the news but praying is the best opportunity in every day life
Is well God has a plan for His people but govt should increase the money given to corp me members so to allow them contribute for national growth
Your comment..wen will batch B be going 4 there service?
April 27 to may 13 is not up to 21 days which is the stipulated duration for orientation camp… I suspect foul play there! Hacker are don’t the loose again!
Why is that married women are not going to nysc camp to outside there state ? Beco y i’m saying this is dat some got married at age of 17 to 18 and dere havenot miss up with people or travell out, so this is there opportunity to go camp to outside state apart from those are pregnant and nurse mother
God will help us,the government should consider the corps members.are we going to stay at home for a year before going to NYSC camp? this change is not helping us
See English…Nigeria graduate!!
@Manuel. It’s not possible. This person could not have gone to school talk less of graduating from university. Otherwise … how sad!
when is batch A 2015 pop date?
Your comment..@Ronke,you just made a blunder in your sentence too.
Manuel I believe you wanted to say NIGERIAN student… Yet you said Nigeria student…. I wonder which institution you all graduated from with this motor Park English and wrongly spelt words . it’s this kind of English that’s making nysc keep postponing the camp date…. Kikikikikikikikki… Lmao
Lol….motor pack indeed.
Oluchi look at d way u fabricated ur grammar as if u don’t go to school. Which type of question is that, who are u asking? I wonder how u obtained and paraded urself as a graduate. Go back to school pls,
Motion I suppose you may have heard the saying, paraphrased to say you should take out the log of wood in your eye before removing the speck from another person’s eye… In as much as oluchi’s statement carries lots of grammatical blunders you don’t have to come up here to talk her down when yours isn’t properly constructed… You rightly should have typed, “… as if you hadn’t attended/gone to school…”. Speak right!
Dear, you are right. I noticed that too, 27th to 13th isn’t up to three weeks as it is suppose to be.
As if you didn’t go to school .or as if you never attended school.
So as to take care of their husband and kid(s)
pop on 14th April. every thing that has bringing must have an end. bless NYSC, bless Nigeria n bless u
Your comment..I don’t even know wat to believe anymore…
Haba NYSC are u waiting for some of us to turn to bad pple b4 we go for camp? Many are already dead some are nw prostitutes nd armed rubbers, we are tired of staying at home nd it is affecting many of us negatively. Pls dnt postpone it again aftr dis one coz if u do, many will commit suicide!!!
I sincerely hope rooms will be opened for correction of wrongly spelt names.
O Allah make it best of time whenever it deem right for you. But I equally suspect a peck information in this post, because April 27 to May 13 is not upto 21 days as the stipulated time entels.
Simple NYSC program you can’t maintain. Scrap it I say, stop making graduates look useless with their certificate. After the hurdles through school you’re still keeping us at home for months without applying for jobs with our certificate and you can’t kick start the nysc program. What a shame. Few days to go you wake up and change the dates. Is it the faults of PCMs that you can’t manage the NYSC program. Better return it to April 1st or make it optional. We are tired of been pushed around. You people better watch it because if the youths and young graduates get vexed. The country go tire una o. I rest my case.
Hmmm. Nysc it is not the fault of PÇMs that you can’t manage the program you made mandatory for Nigerian graduates. Better return it to April 1st. There’s no excuse for your incapability and weakness to monitor the scheme. Lack of planning and poor implementation. No inspection at all. Make the program optional or scrap it. Graduates without a certificate from the scheme hardly get a good job. That is wickedness. Be careful because if the youths of a nation grow against that nation the end is near. Biafra dey one side. Instead of you to try every means to unite the love of the youth towards the country you’re busy trying their patience. I rest my case. April 1st.
There is a purpose for everything
Your comment..let ALLHA mak it a blessing time 4 us
Let us continue to excersice ptnce, there may be blessing over this postponment
aw I wish I had gone wif d last batch cos ds ppl r getting MI frustrated by d day. 1st it was Feb postponed to March 2 den to March 30th. MA prayer is weneva it is I said b favoured insha allah
The rot in the system (NYSC) due to corruption is the root of all these nonsense. EFCC should investigate this now before it is too late.

Your comment..@NYSC Why are you doing us the more you look the less you see. My expectation this week was call up letter not giving me heart break with postpones new. They say every disappointment is a blessing but this one is a lesson from NYSC. Let something be done about this sudden postpones news because i still can’t believe it.
