NYSC disclosed this on its official X handle, stating that the suspension was due to ongoing renovation work at the orientation camp.
It further stated that affected prospective corps members would be informed later of new arrangements for the exercise.
“This is to notify the General Public and Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) deployed to Niger State for the 2026 Batch B Stream I Orientation Course that their Orientation Course Exercise is suspended for now due to ongoing renovation work at the Orientation Camp,” the statement on X read.
It added, “PCMs affected should note that they will be contacted at a short notice on where and when to report for their Orientation Course.
“The Management regrets all inconveniences to the affected PCMs and their parents.”
This makes it the second time this year. The scheme’s suspension of orientation activities in Niger is linked to infrastructure challenges.
Earlier in 2026, a severe windstorm damaged key facilities at the State camp in Paiko, Paikoro Local Government Area, including male hostels, the multi-purpose hall, kitchen, and staff quarters.
Reacting, Governor Mohammed Bago directed immediate repairs.
The 2026 Batch B Stream I orientation exercise which commenced on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, was scheduled to run through Tuesday, June 30, 2026, nationwide.
