No NIN, No Mobilisation — NYSC Tells Prospective Corps Members

The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC has sent a warning to all eligible prospective corps members.

NYSC said prospective corpers will not be mobilised if they don’t have the National Identification Numbers, NIN, starting with the 2024 mobilisation exercise.

This was part of the deliberations during the meeting between NYSC Management, led by its Director General, Brigadier General Y.D. Ahmed, and the management of the National Identification Management Commission, NIMC, led by its Director General, Abisoye Coker-Odusote, in Abuja, on Wednesday.

Brig Gen Ahmed said the collaboration with NIMC on corps mobilisation would strengthen the online registration process for NYSC.

He added that the NYSC Integrated System, which was introduced in 2014, has tremendously assisted the scheme in its mobilisation process.

In her remarks during the visit, the NIMC Director General, Coker-Odusote, promised the commission’s readiness for collaboration between both agencies.

She lauded NYSC’s mobilisation protocols and its efforts towards moulding corps members for leadership responsibilities in its over 50 years of operations.

The NIMC boss said the synergy will simplify the entire mobilisation process and also address multiple issues.

She added that NIMC has partnered with several government agencies.
