The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has said that the 2025 Batch ‘A’ Stream II Orientation Course will commence on Wednesday, June 11, 2025.

The management of NYSC on Thursday passed the information across to prospective corps members, parents, guardians and other stakeholders in a statement signed by Ag. Director of
Information & Public Relations, Caroline Embu.

“Consequently, you are encouraged to routinely monitor the NYSC Official Social Media handles for updates on the exercise, please,” Embu stated.

The NYSC Director General, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu gave this charge while addressing corps members at the Benue State Orientation Camp in Wannune, and Nasarawa State Orientation Camp, Magaji Dan Yamusa, Keffi.

He urged the corps members to think positively outside the box, adding that they should think of how to add value to themselves in order to be able to succeed in the larger world and also benefit humanity.

General Nafiu, whose visit coincided with SAED exhibition at Benue Camp advised the corps members to acquire additional skills through the NYSC Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme, so as to become self-reliant and employers of labour.
