BEGINNING from the 2014 Batch ‘C’ set to be deployed November, corps members will now get their National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Call-up letter online, after registering on the NYSC website.
The Director-General, NYSC, Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi disclosed this when he paid a visit to the 2014 Batch ‘B’ Stream 1 corps members, at the NYSC Orientation Camp, Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos. Represented by Mr. Anthony Ani, a Director at the Corps Mobilization Unit, National Directorate Headquarters of the NYSC, Olawumi stated that the online registration is put in place to bring efficiency and ease for corps members.

He said: “As from the 2014 Batch ‘C’ to be deployed this November, corps members will be required to go online to register on our website, after which they can print their call-up letters. The era where a corps member who for instance lives in Lagos, but schooled in Nassarawa, will have to travel to Nassarawa to get his call-up letter, has come and gone. What this means is that when it is time to go to camp, such a corp member would be able to sit in the confines of his room to register and print his call-up letter online.
“We are here to ensure life is better for you. We are doing this to bring efficiency and ease for corps members. We believe that among other things, we will reduce the rate at which corps members get involved in accident just to go to their various schools to get their call-up letter.”
While advising the corps members, Olawumi urged them to be disciplined, resourceful, dedicated and exhibit selfless sacrifice, in their places of primary assignment, adding that the NYSC one-year mandatory service should not be seen as a voluntary or personal service, but as a national service to one’s fatherland.
He added: “Be ambassadors of your parents, the NYSC and yourself. Go out there and tell the world that Nigeria would be a better place. Most of your mates who have travelled abroad are now refugees over there, but all you need to succeed here is character and discipline.
“We rely on you to transform Nigeria. So, go into your various communities, see what is missing and be ready to impact positive change.”
Earlier, the NYSC Lagos Coordinator, Mrs. Adenike Adeyemi informed the DG about all the programmes put in place to sensitise and motivate the corps members to be better persons in life, adding that the Lagos State NYSC has responded actively in collaboration with the State Government and in line with the directives of the NYSC DG, to sensitise the corps members, as well as the camp community about the deadly Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).
“With all the measures put in place so far, I can assure that the NYSC Lagos Orientation camp has a very low threat to the scourge,” assured Adeyemi
