When is NYSC registration starting?
Even though there is no registration date yet, the next batch for NYSC is 2026 Batch A Stream 2 which will begin on April 22, 2026 and end on May 12, 2026.
For heads up, it is always updated on the mobilization timetable as released by the NYSC. But again, the exact timing depends on various factors as explained in the NYSC calendar for year 2026.
Not to worry though. Once the NYSC registration date is out, it will be published here alongside other important updates that matters to prospective corps members.
NYSC Batch A 2026 Registration Guide
While waiting for the portal to open for Batch A Stream 2 registration, it’s smart to get ready ahead. The first thing you should confirm is that your name is already on the NYSC senate list. Only graduates whose names appear there can complete online registration.
After that, you should go through the NYSC online registration requirements so you’ll know exactly what to do once registration begins.
NYSC Registration Update – Monday, 2nd February, 2026
Good morning and welcome to another edition of NYSC Weekly Recap with Local Man. With focus currently on camp activities, there has been less movement on the mobilization side. Still, this week’s NYSC updates come with a few important points PCMs should know:
- It is now less than ten days to the close of orientation camp for Batch A Stream 1. Corps members in camp have been automatically cleared for January and February, with the first monthly allowance expected to be paid this week.
- For those awaiting the next phase, there is still no official update on the registration or orientation camp date for Batch A Stream 2. PCMs are strongly advised to stay patient and rely only on verified information, especially when following any NYSC registration update, to avoid being misled.
- Meanwhile, the NYSC DG has warned corps members against absconding from service, stressing that completing the service year properly is the only way they can receive their certificates without issues. He also encouraged prudent financial management and urged them to respect their host communities.
- On the issue of finances, some serving corps members have expressed frustration over the delay in payment of the January allowance, with many joking that they are now doing “bambiala” just to get by. According to them, if they had known January would be this tight, “Detty December” would have been handled differently.
- As Batch A Stream 2 draws closer, PCMs are advised to read the NERD enrollment guide and also check the list of recommended accredited agents shared on this platform to guide them through the registration process. This will help them stay prepared ahead of the next major NYSC registration update 2026 is expected to bring.

NYSC Registration Update – Monday, 26th January, 2026
Good morning and welcome to this week’s NYSC recap with Local Man. Over the past week, most conversations around NYSC have centred on traveling to camp, documentation issues, and general movement within orientation camps.
Below is the latest NYSC registration update every PCM should be aware of.
- Orientation camps are currently open nationwide for 2026 Batch A Stream 1. Corps members in this stream are expected to leave camp on February 10. This remains the most important official update for those already in camp.
- From the poll on Local Man’s NYSC Channel, many PCMs are yet to receive a call up number while some are still unable to access their NYSC dashboard. Based on how the system usually works, this group has most likely been moved to 2026 Batch A Stream 2. For now, there is nothing unusual here. Just stay calm and keep monitoring your dashboard for the next NYSC registration update.
- On Batch A Stream 2, there is still no official timeline. While orientation camp activities cannot hold during the Ramadan fasting period, senate list upload and online registration are still possible. This means PCMs should not be surprised if the next NYSC registration news focuses on portal activities rather than camp dates.
- In Abia State, Governor Alex Otti has promised automatic employment into the state civil service for outstanding corps members serving in the 2026 Batch A Stream 1. For PCMs thinking beyond camp, this is a reminder that your service year performance can matter long after registration ends.
- Also worth noting, the Zamfara State Government has approved a new monthly allowance structure for health workers. Serving medical doctors will now receive ₦150,000, while other health professionals will receive ₦50,000 monthly. This is relevant for PCMs considering health sector postings.
- On a sad note, bandits reportedly kidnapped a prospective corps member, Lateefat Binuyo, in Kogi State while she was travelling from Lagos to NYSC camp in Taraba State. Her family has been asked to pay a ₦30 million ransom for her release. This incident is a reminder for PCMs to prioritise safety while traveling for NYSC registration and camp reporting.

NYSC Registration Updates – 12th January 2026
Hello and welcome to another edition of the NYSC Weekly Recap with Local Man. If you have been checking online for the latest NYSC update today, the past few days have actually been busy in the NYSC space. Several new developments have come up and they directly affect prospective corps members. Here are the key standouts in this week’s NYSC registration update.
- NYSC has officially announced that the orientation camp will open on January 21 for Batch A Stream 1. With this update, those who were earlier lined up for 2025 Batch C Stream 2 have now been automatically moved into the new batch. This is one of the most important NYSC updates today for affected PCMs.
- Many people expected that a fresh registration would come with this batch. That will not happen. The backlog of already registered PCMs is still very large, so NYSC is focusing on deploying them to camp first. Another NYSC registration update will come later when registration opens for Stream 2.
- On Batch A Stream 2, current indications suggest it will come after the Ramadan and Easter religious activities. However, these religious events do not affect when the NYSC registration portal will open. This detail is important for PCMs monitoring NYSC updates today closely.
- The physical verification exercise for foreign trained graduates begins today. This applies to those who have already completed online registration but are yet to have their documents physically verified by NYSC. If this affects you, treat it as a priority.
- There has also been a change in the NERD registration process. Only accredited agents can now enroll graduates. While there is no official announcement yet, it appears that the clearance slip requirement will not be enforced for Batch A Stream 1. This development has featured heavily in recent NYSC updates today.
As you prepare for camp, Fola NYSC Kit remains a reliable plug for camp clothing and other essentials. You can message her on WhatsApp while there is still time for delivery before camp opens.
Finally, remember that the medical fitness certificate is compulsory for camp registration. You will not be allowed to complete camp registration without it. Send me a DM if you want yours processed.
That’s all for this week’s NYSC registration update. Remember to tell your friends to join our WhatsApp Channel for reliable NYSC updates today and beyond. Here is the link https://bit.ly/nysc247

2026 Batch A Stream 1 Camp Date Announced
NYSC has confirmed the official dates for the 2026 Batch A Stream I orientation course. In a circular dated January 5, 2026 the scheme announced that orientation camp will begin nationwide on Wednesday January 21, 2026 across the 36 states and the FCT.

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
