NYSC extends 2025 Batch ‘C’ registration by 48 hours over network glitches

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has extended the registration period for the 2025 Batch ‘C’ mobilisation exercise by 48 hours, moving the deadline to midnight on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.

The extension follows persistent network challenges that have hampered the registration process for many prospective corps members (PCMs).

In a statement signed by Caroline Embu, Director of Information and Public Relations, the NYSC apologised for the inconvenience caused and assured affected applicants that technical teams were working “round the clock” to restore smooth operations.

“While Management regrets the inconvenience this might have caused our valued PCMs, we wish to assure all that we are working round the clock to resolve the issues and ensure they enjoy seamless registration,” the statement read.

The scheme urged prospective corps members to take advantage of the extended window to complete their registration, expressing appreciation for their patience and understanding.

“In view of this regrettable development, Management has extended the registration period by 48 hours till midnight of Tuesday, November 11, 2025, to enable our enthusiastic PCMs conclude their registration,” the NYSC added.

Meanwhile, several PCMs have voiced frustration over the technical difficulties, with many citing failed confirmation emails and prolonged delays despite multiple attempts.

Yusuf Abubakar Umar, one of the affected applicants, wrote on Facebook:

“I’ve been trying to register since 4 a.m., and like many others, I haven’t received any confirmation email.”

Another PCM, Recheal Joseph Ani, said:

“Honestly, I was in the café since 6 a.m. today and up till now I have not gotten an email to proceed with my registration.”

The 2025 Batch ‘C’ online registration exercise initially opened on November 4 and was scheduled to close on November 9 before the extension was announced.

The NYSC reassured prospective corps members that system upgrades are ongoing to prevent a recurrence of such network disruptions in future registration exercises.
