The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has debunked social media reports suggesting that Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) who have not received their Call-Up Numbers should visit State Secretariats to obtain them.
In a statement signed on Tuesday by the Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, the NYSC described the information as misleading and urged the public to disregard it.
“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 read.
The NYSC stressed that the messages did not originate from the organisation, reiterating that all official communication with PCMs is conducted exclusively 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 added.
However, the NYSC also urged the public to remain cautious and rely only on official channels for information regarding the Scheme.
