NYSC announces nationwide passing-out date, begins clearance process

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced Thursday, July 9, 2026, as the official passing-out date for members of the 2025 Batch ‘B’ Stream I across the country. The announcement was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the scheme’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, and shared through the NYSC’s official communication channels. According to the statement, activities leading to the passing-out exercise commenced on June 23 and will run through a series of administrative and career development programmes designed to prepare corps members for life after national service. These activities include Job Advisory and Counselling (JAC) sessions organised by the NYSC and partner agencies, registration and clearance by Local Government Inspectors (LGIs), as well as the completion of final clearance procedures by Zonal Inspectors.

The scheme noted that the passing-out exercise will be conducted on a low-key basis nationwide and will culminate in the issuance of Certificates of National Service to corps members who have successfully fulfilled all requirements of the programme. NYSC emphasized that only those who have satisfactorily completed their service year and met all necessary conditions will be eligible to receive the certificate. The Director-General of the scheme, Olakunle Nafiu, congratulated the outgoing corps members and wished them a successful winding-up and passing-out exercise. He also encouraged them to uphold the values of discipline, patriotism and service instilled during their participation in the programme, urging them to remain worthy ambassadors of the NYSC as they move into the next phase of their careers and personal lives.
