The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has officially postponed the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream I orientation exercise for corps members assigned to Niger State. This development was disclosed in a statement issued by Caroline Embu, the Director of Information and Public Relations.
According to the NYSC, the delay stems from ongoing refurbishment work at the Paiko orientation camp in Niger State. The state government initiated the renovations after a severe windstorm caused extensive damage to the facility. As a result, prospective corps members are advised not to report for the orientation course until further notice.
The scheme’s management is actively seeking an alternative location to host the orientation program. A new start date and additional details will be shared with affected individuals in the coming weeks. The NYSC expressed regret for any inconvenience caused to corps members and their families, while thanking them for their understanding and patience.
