EKO HOT BLOG reports that in a press statement released on Tuesday, the Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, described the information as misleading and untrue.

“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 Secretariats of the Scheme for this purpose,” the statement noted.

The NYSC clarified that official communications with PCMs are exclusively conducted through their individual dashboards and the Scheme’s verified 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 emphasized.
