The National Youth Service Corps has approved Thursday, July 9, 2026, as the official passing-out date for 2025 Batch ‘B’ Stream I corps members nationwide.
The scheme announced the date in a statement posted on its official X handle on Wednesday and signed by its Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu.
According to the statement, activities leading to the passing-out exercise began on June 23.
The NYSC said the low-key exercise would culminate in the distribution of Certificates of National Service to eligible corps members across all local government areas of the country.
“The Management of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has approved Thursday, 9th July, 2026, as the passing-out date for the 2025 Batch ‘B’ Stream One Corps Members.
The statement read: “The series of activities heralding the event will commence on Tuesday 23rd June, 2026, and will include Job Advisory and Counselling (JAC), by the NYSC and other relevant agencies, registration and clearing of Corps Members by Local Government Inspectors (LGIs), as well as the signing of final clearance by the Zonal Inspectors.”
