NYSC Announces Cyber Cafe Accreditation for Registration

The Management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), led by Shuibu Ibrahim, has announced its intention to initiate the accreditation of Cyber Cafe Operators for NYSC online registrations. In the past, there were accreditation centers; however, in recent times, these centers ceased to exist. The scheme is now actively working to reinstate accreditation centers nationwide. This implies that prospective Corps members can only register for the NYSC program at approved Cyber Cafes.

According to the NYSC management, Cyber Cafe Operators are crucial stakeholders, providing various online services on the NYSC portal for both prospective and serving Corps members.

The NYSC plans to conduct periodic training sessions for accredited Cyber Cafe Operators to keep them informed about new features on the NYSC online portal.

Why NYSC Wants Accredited Cyber Cafe operators

• To bring sanity in the NYSC registration process.
• Encourage Cyber Cafe operators to work as partners with the NYSC scheme.
• Eradicate fake Cyber Cafe operators.
• Ensure effective monitoring of registration centres.

How to Register for NYSC Accreditation

1. Visit NYSC portal via https://nysc.gov.ng/.
2. Upload requirements documents as stipulated by the Scheme.
