NYSC Suspends 2026 Batch B Stream I Orientation Course

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) announced the suspension of the 2026 Batch B Stream I orientation course for prospective corps members deployed to Niger State. This decision was made due to ongoing renovation work at the orientation camp.

A statement from the NYSC indicated that the orientation course, originally scheduled to commence on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, and run until Tuesday, June 30, 2026, has been put on hold. The NYSC expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to the affected prospective corps members and their parents.

The renovation work is a response to infrastructural challenges, including damage from severe windstorms earlier in 2026, which affected facilities at the camp in Paiko, Paikoro Local Government Area, including the male hostel, multipurpose hall, kitchen, and staff quarters. The NYSC will provide further updates regarding new arrangements for the orientation exercise.
