Embu added that the Director-General of NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, has extended his best wishes to all prospective corps members as they prepare for camp. He also advised them to avoid night travel and remain cautious throughout their journey.

“The Director-General wishes all prospective corps members safe travels to their respective orientation camps and advises them to avoid night journeys to ensure their safety,” Embu stated.

The NYSC had earlier released call-up numbers for the 2025 Batch C prospective corps members on Tuesday, November 11, via its official X handle, confirming that allocations were made based on the order of registration.

However, the scheme clarified that due to limited capacity in orientation camps across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, only about 40 per cent of registered candidates would be mobilised for this batch.

It assured that those who could not secure a slot in Batch C would be deployed in the next orientation exercise and urged all affected individuals to remain patient and follow official NYSC communication channels for further updates.
