NYSC Postpones Orientation in Enugu, Osun States

The National Youth Service Corps has adjusted the orientation schedule for prospective corps members deployed to Enugu and Osun states, with the exercise now beginning one week later than in other states due to ongoing camp renovations.

NYSC made the announcement on Monday in a statement by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu.

Embu said the orientation course for the two states will commence on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, and end on Monday, May 18, 2026.

“This slight adjustment is due to the on-going extensive renovation of the Camps by the State Governments which has necessitated the change in date,” Embu said.

For all other states and the Federal Capital Territory, the orientation exercise is scheduled to hold from Wednesday, April 22, 2026, to Tuesday, May 12, 2026.

“Affected Prospective Corps Members are to duly note these differing dates for compliance, please,” Embu added.

The NYSC wished all prospective corps members a safe journey to their states of deployment.
