NYSC Pins NERD Clearance on Prospective Corps Members

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that prospective corps members must obtain clearance from the National Electronic Registration Database (NERD) before they can be mobilised for national service.

The scheme issued the directive on Monday as it continued preparations for the mobilisation of a new batch of prospective corps members and stepped up efforts to ensure safe travel to orientation camps.

According to NYSC, the mandatory clearance is aimed at strengthening the credibility of the mobilisation process and ensuring only eligible graduates are deployed for service.

The agency urged prospective corps members to complete the NERD clearance process as early as possible to avoid delays or disqualification from the upcoming mobilisation.
