Kindly note that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) takes corps members monthly clearance very serious, and always punish member who failed to take part in the exercise. Now, the question is ‘what are the penalties for missing Nysc clearance?’

What is NYSC Clearance?
NYSC clearance is an official monthly exercise to clear doubts that a Corps member did his work at place of primary assignment, and therefore qualify to receive monthly allowance and other entitlements.
However, the main purpose of NYSC clearance is to minimize the number of Ghost Corps members and encourage discipline. For example, Corps member might be doing his regular business in Lagos whereas he was posted to Sokoto.
NYSC monthly clearance is usually done in the first week of every month at the of office of Local Government Inspector (LGI).
The process begins by getting a clearance letter from the head of your PPA, and the letter is submitted to your NYSC LGI. If the NYSC LGI is satisfied, he/she will grant you access to biometric thumbprint. After thumb printing, your data will be sent to the NYSC ICT department at Abuja headquarters for recording.
The ICT department will mark “Present” or “Absence” for you as the case maybe. ‘Present’ you have been cleared for that month, while ‘Absent’ shows you have not.
You can check your NYSC monthly clearance status online at NYSC portal.
Effect of missing NYSC monthly clearance
Below are the ugly effects of missing NYSC monthly;

Extension of your service year without pay.
WARNING: Do not miss NYSC monthly clearance for whatever reason. If there something that will cause you to miss the clearance, make sure that you get approval from NYSC. It can be by writing a request letter to your state coordinator through your LGI.

If you miss your clearance, run to your LGI and explain the reason, maybe there is a way he can help. Or run to the NYSC state secretariat to beg for mercy. Although this may not always be helpful.

Good day sir, I have been missing clearance for the past 3months now and NYSC has queried me for absconding for 4months now should I just wait for remobilization or serve d extension though nysc is yet to decide on my matter ooo

pls,I got an urgent mail/call that will take out of the country. So can I put my Service on hold?

You can only abscond. When you abscond from service, you will have to register for ‘remobilization’ and start your service year afresh. However, you will payback all the NYSC allowance you collected so far.
