According to the statement, shared via the NYSC X handle @officialnyscng on Monday, December 15, 2025, the exercise is strictly for corps members who absconded during their initial service year and are seeking to complete their national service.
The management also warned that any corps member required to refund the monthly allowance received during their earlier service must do so only through their NYSC dashboard, stressing that payments made outside the platform will not be recognised.
NYSC further clarified that corps members who registered during the 2025 Batch ‘B’ remobilisation exercise but were unable to complete documentation in their state of remobilisation would be required to register afresh for the Batch ‘C’ exercise.
NYSC's last batch
The last set of corps members mobilised by the NYSC went into orientation camp during the 2025 Batch ‘C’ orientation exercise, which traditionally takes place towards the end of the year.
They entered orientation camps nationwide in November 2025 and completed the mandatory three-week orientation programme in early December 2025, after which they were posted to their various places of primary assignment (PPA).

NYSC orientation camps typically last 21 days, covering paramilitary drills, skills acquisition training, physical exercises and official briefings before corps members are formally deployed for the service year.
In recent years, the NYSC has become a subject of heated debate, with some calling for its proscription. Critics of the scheme argued that it lacked relevance in light of current realities.
