How to Avoid Serious Mistakes During NYSC Registration

The good news is that the authority of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) released hard-to-rectify mistakes during registration and how to avoid them during registration.

Here, we present to you the strange mistakes that prospective corps members do at the time of the NYSC registration and the simplest ways to avoid them as outline by NYSC board.

a.      Thumb printing by proxy

Do not allow anybody to do thumb printing for you during NYSC registration. Affected PCM cannot register at camp because the biometrics is not his/hers.

b.      Mixed up registration

Some cyber cafe operators have the habit of registering more than one person at a time in one computer by opening 2 or more tabs on the same browser. This causes mix-up in the PCMs information which is hard to rectify. We advise you to sit with the person registering you and make sure he does not register another person at same time he is registering you. When you want go somewhere before he finishes with you, tell him to log you out before he starts with the next person.

c.       Proxy Email

Do not allow cafe operator to use his email address for you. In case you do not have email, let him create one for you and make sure he gives you the details of the email address and the password. Keep them safe because you need them until your service year is over.

d.      Marriage Information

For married women, make sure you go with your marital documents, choose married online and upload them during registration. In the column to input your spouse surname, make sure you put the correct surname you are using after marriage.

e.       Medical Issues

For sick person, make sure you indicate it and the type of sickness, also provide all other details and upload medical report.

f.       Security Personnel’s

For Military and SSS, make sure you indicate and provide all other relevant info and upload the required documents.

g.      Foreign Students

Assuming you are a foreign trained graduate, make sure you read the registration requirements at https://www.nysc.gov.ng and upload all required documents. Try to log into your account time to time for information asking you to update some of your documents. Failure to do so may lead you not to be mobilized eventually.
