NYSC Registration: Confirmation link stalls with face capturing downtime

Prospective Corp Members (PCMs) are currently facing issues receiving confirmation links via their email accounts for the NYSC registration. The issue has been attributed to a technical glitch in the biometric capturing experienced by cyber cafe operators. 

As always, the first day of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) registration has been marred by a series of issues. While thousands of PCMs have waited for months to register for the one-year service year, the opportunity is currently being marred by stalls in email verification links and biometric capturing. 

According to a source close to the NYSC, @NYSC360, the CBO Centre is experiencing issues with capturing data, thereby causing delays to the roll-out of verification emails. The CBO centre is the control session that approves the biometric capture of applicants. The issue is also believed to be directly from the NYSC system. 

“The CBO Centre is currently experiencing some issues with capturing data. As a result, some PCMs are not receiving emails. We trust that management will address these portal-related concerns promptly,” the source stated via an X (formerly Twitter) post.

While the registration, which commenced today, is expected to end on September 13, registering early is crucial to avoid an unexpected portal closure.
