The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that the 2025 Batch ‘C’ Orientation Course will commence on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, across all orientation camps nationwide.
According to the scheme, camp registration for all prospective corps members will take place from Wednesday, November 19, and end at midnight on Friday, November 21, 2025.
This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu.
“The swearing-in ceremony holds on Friday, November 21, while the closing ceremony will take place on Tuesday, December 9, 2025,” the statement read.
Embu added that the Director-General of the NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, wished all prospective corps members safe travels to their respective orientation camps and advised them to avoid night journeys for their safety.
It would be recalled that on Tuesday, the NYSC announced the release of call-up numbers for the 2025 Batch ‘C’ prospective corps members.

In a post shared on its official X handle, the scheme stated: “The NYSC management is pleased to announce that call-up numbers for 2025 Batch C Prospective Corps Members have been released, based on registration order.”
The statement further explained that due to limited capacity across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, only about 40 per cent of registered prospective corps members will participate in the upcoming orientation exercise.
The NYSC, however, assured that those who could not secure placement in the current batch would be deferred to the next mobilisation exercise.
