Maitama, Abuja - Thousands of prospective National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) members across Nigeria are currently stranded and frustrated following the sudden crash of the registration portal which happened on Sunday night, January 5.

Checks by Legit.ng showed that as of Monday afternoon, January 6, 2025, the portal has remained inaccessible with many prospective corp members who were yet to enrol still stranded.

Challenge with NYSC 2025 registration

On Thursday, January 2, the NYSC management announced it has initiated the online registration for 2024 Batch C Stream II, effective from today, Monday, January 6. However, corps members who attempted to log in to the NYSC portal when it opened today for registration have been unable to access the site.

Some claim they received "service unavailable" messages during their attempts. Others said the portal opened but they could not log in.

Some corps members claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that they missed out on going for service the last time due to issues with the portal and they are experiencing the same issues again. They lamented that the time given to register on the site is usually short and the portal gets closed early, even if many have not registered due to technical issues with the portal.
