NYSC Unveils Deployment for 2026 Batch 'B' Stream II in Niger, Sokoto States

In a recent development, the National Youth Service Corps has made public the deployment details for the 2026 Batch 'B' Stream II, specifically for prospective corps members posted to Niger and Sokoto states. As announced on the NYSC's official handle on Sunday, individuals who have been assigned to these states can now proceed to print their call-up letters. The announcement clearly stated, '2026 Batch 'B' Stream II Deployment has been released for Niger and Sokoto States. PCMs posted to these states have been enabled to print their Call-Up Letters.' This update follows the NYSC's earlier decision to postpone the commencement of the orientation course in both states due to ongoing renovation works at the orientation camps, which are being carried out by the respective state governments. Consequently, the orientation course for these states is now scheduled to begin on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. Key events in the orientation programme include the cut-off and swearing-in ceremony, set for Friday, August 14, and the closing ceremony, which is fixed for Tuesday, September 1. The NYSC has advised prospective corps members to plan their travel arrangements accordingly, emphasizing the importance of avoiding night travels. The extension and subsequent release of call-up letters are part of the Corps' efforts to ensure a smooth and safe orientation process for all participants.
