The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has suspended the 2026 Batch B Stream I Orientation Course for prospective corps members deployed to Niger State due to ongoing renovation work at the state’s orientation camp.
The scheme announced the development in a public notice on Sunday, informing affected prospective corps members that the orientation exercise would no longer hold as scheduled.
According to the NYSC, the suspension became necessary to allow rehabilitation work at the orientation camp to continue without disruption.
The management assured affected corps members that alternative arrangements would be communicated once plans are finalised.
It stated that all prospective corps members posted to Niger State would be contacted and informed of a new reporting date and venue for the orientation programme.
The scheme also apologised to affected participants and their families for any inconvenience caused by the development.
The suspension follows extensive renovation work at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Paiko, Paikoro Local Government Area, after a destructive windstorm damaged key facilities at the camp earlier in the year.
Structures affected by the storm reportedly included hostels, the multipurpose hall, kitchen facilities and staff quarters, prompting the Niger State Government to embark on rehabilitation of the camp.
While the 2026 Batch B Stream I Orientation Course commenced nationwide on June 10 and is expected to end on June 30, corps members deployed to Niger State will now await further directives from the NYSC.
