Mobilization: NYSC gives update on 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has issued a directive to all corps-producing institutions, instructing them to upload the Senate list for the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II mobilization.

Mobilization is one of the four cardinals of the youth program.

According to the Diaspora Digital Media (DDM), NYSC passed the  information in a statement issued on Wednesday, through its Deputy Director of Mobilization, Mohammed Abdullahi.

It announced that its portal will be opened from December 11 to 13, 2024, for uploads.

The statement was titled; “UPLOAD OF SENATE/ACADEMIC BOARD APPROVED LIST AND SUBMISSION OF HARD COPIES.

It reads: “I am directed to inform you that in preparation for the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II mobilization exercise, the NYSC portal will be opened from 11th to13th December, 2024 for uploads.

“Accordingly, all Student Affairs Officers (SAO) are enjoined to be meticulous in their collation and upload of data to avoid mistakes.”

“Furthermore, submission of hard copies of the Senate/Academic Board approved list is scheduled to take place from 16th 18th December, 2024 at the NYSC NDHQ, Abuja.

“Submissions are to be made in person by SAOs as failure to do so will deprive their graduates the opportunity to register when the portal is opened for online registration.”

“You are further requested to ensure that each page of the hard copies is stamped, signed and the document is duly indemnified by the Registrar.”

However, NYSC is yet to release the official dates for registration and the orientation course, which marks the beginning of the service year.
