NYSC 2025 Batch A Stream I Postings Released

On Monday, the NYSC management announced the official release of the 2025 Batch A Stream I postings through a series of posts via its verified X (formerly Twitter) handle. The announcement marks the beginning of an important phase for PCMs who have completed their online registration and have been eagerly awaiting their place of primary assignment (PPA) and orientation camp details.

According to the NYSC:

“The 2025 Batch ‘A’ Stream 1 deployment has been released. PCMs are advised not to travel at night to the orientation camp.”

How to Check Your NYSC 2025 Posting

If you’re a prospective corps member, here’s how to check your posting:

Steps to Check Your NYSC Posting

1. Visit the official NYSC portal: https://portal.nysc.org.ng
2. Log in using your email address and password.
3. Click on the ‘Dashboard’.
4. Look for your Call-up Letter/Posting Information.
5. Download and print your Call-up Letter and Deployment Addendum (if available).

Important:

• The Addendum document is now a required document for registration at the orientation camp.
• It should be printed alongside your Call-up Letter and other necessary documents.

Understanding the NYSC Addendum

The NYSC Addendum is a supplementary document now introduced to accompany your Call-up Letter. It contains specific deployment instructions, including venue confirmations, date, travel advisory, and contact information for camp officials.

Why is the Addendum Important?

• Required for verification during camp registration.
• Confirms your posting details and directives.
• Reduces the risk of being denied entry into camp.
• Helps avoid service disruptions or delays.

The NYSC emphasized that some camps will demand this document for verification, hence it must be printed after successful online registration via the NYSC portal.

Orientation Camp Relocation Details

The NYSC further clarified in its announcement that due to capacity and logistical adjustments:

• Some PCMs deployed to Lagos State will undergo their orientation course in:
  • Ogun State
  • Ondo State
  • Osun State
• Some PCMs posted to Abuja (FCT) will be hosted at:
  • Nasarawa State NYSC Camp
  • Kaduna State NYSC Camp

This is a common practice by NYSC when camps in major cities reach full capacity or are under renovation. PCMs should note that their final place of primary assignment (PPA) remains in the original deployed state.

NYSC’s Travel Warning to PCMs

In a clear travel advisory issued alongside the postings, the NYSC cautioned all prospective corps members not to travel at night when heading to their various orientation camps.

According to NYSC:

“PCMs are advised not to travel at night to the orientation camp.”

Reasons for the Travel Warning

• Security risks on Nigerian highways, especially at night.
• Potential exposure to accidents due to poor road lighting.
• Limited availability of transportation and emergency services at night.
• Risk of missing camp registration deadlines.

Tip:
Always plan your trip early in the day and ensure you arrive at your designated orientation camp safely and on time.
