The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has scheduled Wednesday, 22nd April 2026 for the commencement of major activities for the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II Orientation Course.
NYSC Spokesperson, Caroline Embu announced this in a statement on Wednesday.
Embu said the 21-day exercise will hold in all 36 states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory simultaneously.
She further stated that, “the Orientation Course will commence with reception and registration of Prospective Corps Members on Wednesday, 22nd April 2026, and end at midnight of Friday, 24th April, 2026.
“Prospective Corps Members mobilized for the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II service year will be sworn-in on Friday, 24th April, 2026.
“Meanwhile, the Orientation Course will come to an end on Tuesday, 12th May, 2026”.
The NYSC Management therefore wished Nigerian graduates mobilized for the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II service year safe trips to the various orientation camps across the country, while reiterating its warning against night journeys.
Accordingly, Prospective Corps Members were advised to break their journeys once it’s 6.00pm, and pass the night at any available Corps Members’ Lodge, military formation, police station/outpost or palace of a traditional ruler anywhere in the country, then continue the following morning.
