The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has officially announced a change in the passing-out date for members of the 2024 Batch C Stream 1. The new date for the event is Tuesday, 11th November 2025, replacing the earlier scheduled date of Thursday, 6th November 2025.

According to the NYSC management, the adjustment was made following a review of ongoing administrative and operational activities. The change affects all corps members currently serving under the 2024 Batch C Stream 1 across Nigeria.

The management expressed regret for any inconvenience this change might cause to corps members, state coordinators, and employers of labour. It reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to ensuring a smooth and well-coordinated passing-out ceremony nationwide.

Affected corps members are advised to stay informed through their state secretariats and official NYSC communication channels for further guidance and detailed instructions about the updated schedule.

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that it will not enforce the NERD compliance requirement for the 2025 Batch ‘C’ uploads. This update follows a recent decision by the Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD) to postpone its planned implementation date.

Earlier, the Federal Executive Council had approved 6 October 2025 as the start date for NERD compliance across relevant agencies. Following that directive, NYSC issued a circular on 7 October 2025 (reference: NYSC/DHQ/CM/M/373/VOL.3/81) instructing all Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs) to ensure that subsequent uploads were NERD-compliant.

NYSC Clarifies Current Position on NERD

With the new postponement by NERD, the NYSC management has confirmed that the compliance requirement will no longer apply to uploads for 2025 Batch ‘C’. This means CPIs can continue with their regular upload processes without integrating NERD compliance for this batch.

The NYSC added that this temporary adjustment follows official communication from the NERD Secretariat, which is expected to announce a revised implementation date in due course.

What This Means for Corps Producing Institutions

CPIs are advised to continue their registration and data upload procedures as usual. Once NERD announces a new compliance schedule, further updates will be shared with all stakeholders.

The NYSC appreciates the cooperation of schools, administrators, and prospective corps members, assuring them of its continued commitment to transparent communication and smooth mobilisation exercises.

The NYSC Passing-Out ceremony for the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream I Corps Members has been officially scheduled. The management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has approved Thursday, 6 November 2025, as the official date for the event.

This marks the completion of the one-year national service for Corps Members deployed across Nigeria. The NYSC Passing-Out exercise is a major milestone for every Corps Member, as it signals the end of service and the start of new opportunities.

Programme of Activities for NYSC Passing-Out

The activities for the Passing-Out ceremony will begin with Job Advisory and Counselling (JAC) sessions. These will take place at Local Government Areas across the country, giving Corps Members the chance to receive guidance on career paths and job opportunities after service.

During the period, final clearance letters will be signed by Zonal Inspectors and issued to outgoing Corps Members. This step confirms the successful completion of service and is required before the NYSC Certificate of National Service can be collected.

The Passing-Out Parade itself will be held in a low-key format, in line with NYSC’s standard practice for concluding service years.

Message from the NYSC Director-General

The Director-General of NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, has extended his best wishes to all Corps Members participating in the NYSC Passing-Out event. He also commended the efforts of field officers and monitoring teams who have supported the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream I Corps Members throughout their service year.

He encouraged the outgoing Corps Members to apply the knowledge and discipline they have gained during the service year in their future careers and personal lives.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a new process requiring all prospective corps members to upload their final year thesis to NERD — the Nigerian Education Repository and Databank — before NYSC mobilisation. Starting from the 2025 Batch C stream, every graduate must complete this upload and obtain a clearance slip, which will be needed during registration at the orientation camp.

This process is now mandatory for all NYSC participants. Any graduate who does not complete the upload and verification steps may not be cleared for mobilisation.

Please if You plan on registering for NYSC soon, do well to quickly go through the Corper 101 Course, it is a free and very important and share with your friends also.

Steps to Upload Final Year Thesis to NERD

Follow these simple steps to complete the upload and secure your clearance slip:

1. Visit the NERD portal.
2. Click Preliminary Upload for Thesis/Project.
3. Run the AI Plagiarism Check and review your similarity score.
4. Run the AI Learning Recommendation to get related study suggestions and references.
5. Click Submit to Supervisor for Review.
6. Your supervisor and external examiners will receive an SMS or email notification.
7. Once reviewed, your supervisor and examiners will either approve or reject the submission.
8. If approved, reduce your file size to 10MB or less, then click Submit.
9. A National Document Number (NDN) and Submission Certificate will be generated.
10. Support the databank with a small one-time contribution and print your submission certificate.

This certificate serves as proof that your thesis or final year project has been successfully uploaded and verified in the NERD database.

Why This Step Matters

Uploading your thesis to NERD is now part of the nationwide education record system. It helps standardise academic documentation and ensures every graduate’s research work is preserved for reference and verification. More importantly, without the clearance slip, NYSC registration will not be completed.

It is also very important to know What to Pack for Orientation Camp .  EducationNGR took time to compile all posible question you might have concerning NYSC and their anwers, please dont miss it.

About The Corper 101 Course

Corper 101 is a comprehensive guide to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Nigeria, designed by EducationNGR to equip prospective and serving corps members with the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to successfully navigate their service year.

The course begins with an introduction to the history and objectives of NYSC, helping students understand the vision behind the scheme and its relevance in national unity and development. Learners are then guided through the mobilization and registration process, including how to check the senate list, obtain call-up letters, and prepare adequately for service.

A significant part of the course focuses on the NYSC orientation camp experience, covering camp life, routines, platoon activities, and the unique social and cultural exposure corps members encounter. The journey continues with lessons on Primary Place of Assignment (PPA), Community Development Service (CDS), and managing finances and allowances during service.

The course also explores the challenges of NYSC, including relocation, security, cultural adaptation, and strategies for overcoming them. Finally, it prepares corps members for life after service, guiding them on collecting discharge certificates, leveraging their NYSC experience for career opportunities, entrepreneurship, or further studies.

By the end of this course, learners will have a practical and holistic understanding of the NYSC journey—from mobilization to post-service opportunities—ensuring they can make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
