The National Youth Service Corps has denied reports circulating on social media that Prospective Corps Members who have not received their Call-Up Numbers should go to State Secretariats to obtain them.
On Tuesday, Caroline Embu, Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, issued a press statement clarifying the situation. “The attention of the Management of the National Youth Service Corps has been drawn to misleading information being circulated by some mischief-makers, claiming that Prospective Corps Members yet to be issued Call-Up Numbers should proceed to the State Secretariat of the Scheme for this purpose,” a statement read.
The NYSC emphasized that such statements did not come from the organization and advised the public to disregard them.
“The general public is strongly advised to ignore such messages, as they did not emanate from the Scheme and are untrue,” the statement added.
According to the NYSC, all communication with Prospective Corps Members is conducted exclusively through their individual dashboards and the Scheme’s officially approved social media platforms.“For the avoidance of doubt, all Prospective Corps Members who are yet to receive their Call-Up Numbers are enjoined to exercise patience, keep checking their dashboards, and also visit the NYSC Social Media Platforms (Facebook, X, Instagram, Threads) for updates,” the statement stated.
