Certificate Collection

The Certificate of National Service will be distributed at all Local Government Areas across the country. Corps members should ensure they have completed all clearance requirements before the POP date to receive their certificates without delay.

Important Notes for Corps Members

The NYSC Director-General has urged Corps Members to allow the core values of the Scheme to guide them in their post-service relationships as good ambassadors of NYSC. The ceremony will be a low-key event with decentralized activities across all LGAs rather than at centralized locations.

2. Ensure all CDS activities and reports are submitted
3. Verify your clearance status with your Local Government Inspector
4. Attend pre-POP activities starting 13th March
