This guide walks through what’s confirmed, how to check your own status, what to pack, and the safety guidance NYSC’s leadership has specifically emphasised for this camp intake.

Ready to know exactly what to do between now and 5 August? Here’s the full breakdown.

Starting Date

The 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Orientation Course begins Wednesday, 5 August 2026 and runs for three weeks, closing Tuesday, 25 August 2026. This follows the successful conclusion of the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream I orientation, which held nationwide from 10 to 30 June 2026.

Niger State was an exception during Stream I: after its camp sustained damage, the state’s orientation exercise was relocated and rescheduled to the NYSC orientation camp in Kubwa, Abuja, running from 7 to 27 July 2026.

• Backlog PCMs still awaiting mobilisation from earlier streams, where applicable
