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 across the country.

The scheme stated that registration for all corps members will take place from Wednesday, November 19, until midnight on Friday, November 21, 2025.

NYSC confirmed this in a statement issued on Wednesday and signed by its Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu.

The statement read, “The swearing-in ceremony holds on Friday, November 21, while the closing ceremony will take place on Tuesday, December 9, 2025.”

Embu also said that the Director-General, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, wished all prospective corps members safe travels to their respective orientation camps. He also advised them to avoid night journeys to ensure their safety.

The scheme confirmed this on its official X handle on Tuesday, 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.”

The statement added that due to capacity limitations across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, “only about 40 per cent of registered prospective corps members can be accommodated for the upcoming orientation programme.”

The NYSC assured those unable to secure placement in Batch C that they would be deferred to the next exercise.
