Latest NYSC Registration Update – 5th January, 2026
Good morning PCMs and welcome to the first edition of the NYSC weekly recap with Local Man for 2026. Wishing you a great year ahead. Here is a breakdown of what happened within the NYSC space over the past week and the key NYSC registration update to note.
To start with, NYSC is yet to announce a date for the next orientation camp. Hopefully, there will be some clarity in that direction in the coming days as we continue to track the latest developments.
On the portal side, some PCMs are currently unable to log in to their dashboard due to a “closed registration” error message. There is no cause for concern, as this appears to be a temporary system issue from NYSC and should be resolved soon.
In a related development, the National Education Repository Databank (NERD) disclosed in its last memo that new registration guidelines are expected to be released on January 6. This should give more direction to PCMs following the latest news on NYSC registration and portal requirements.
Away from registration matters, former Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, recently clarified that political power play led to her resignation from office, not issues surrounding her NYSC exemption certificate as widely circulated at the time.
Speaking of exemption, it is important to note that NYSC exemption applies strictly to graduates who clocked 30 years before graduation. Anyone who graduates before turning 30 remains eligible for service, even if they are currently above 30.
While we await further updates from NYSC, you can message Local Man on WhatsApp for assistance with comprehensive medical fitness certificate.
That’s all for this week’s edition. Remember to share the NYSC WhatsApp group link with other PCMs for timely and reliable NYSC updates. https://bit.ly/nysc247
