The announcement was contained in a statement issued on Monday by the scheme’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu. According to the NYSC, prospective corps members can now access their Call-up Numbers through their individual dashboards, while Call-up Letters will be uploaded subsequently.
The scheme said the three-week orientation programme would hold simultaneously at all accredited orientation camps nationwide.
“Accordingly, Call-up Numbers have been uploaded to the dashboards of prospective Corps Members, while Call-up Letters will be made available in due course,” Caroline Embu, Director of Information and Public Relations, NYSC, said in the statement.
NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, congratulated all prospective corps members mobilised for the 2026 Batch B Stream II service year on completing their studies in higher institutions within and outside Nigeria.
