The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that the 2025 Batch ‘C’ Orientation Course will commence on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at all orientation camps nationwide.
According to the scheme, camp registration for corps members will run from Wednesday, November 19, to midnight on Friday, November 21, 2025.
The announcement was confirmed in a statement released on Wednesday by NYSC’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu.
“The swearing-in ceremony will hold on Friday, November 21, while the closing ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, December 9, 2025,” the statement read.
Embu added that NYSC Director-General Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu has wished all prospective corps members safe travels to their respective orientation camps and advised them to avoid night journeys to ensure their safety.
Earlier reports by The Telegraph indicated that the NYSC had released call-up numbers for the 2025 Batch C prospective corps members. The scheme confirmed this via its official X account, stating: “The NYSC management is pleased to announce that call-up numbers for 2025 Batch C Prospective Corps Members have been released, based on registration order.”
Due to capacity limitations across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, the NYSC noted that “only about 40 per cent of registered prospective corps members can be accommodated for the upcoming orientation programme.”
The scheme assured that those unable to secure placement in Batch C would be deferred to the next exercise.
