It said that members of the public, especially students, prospective Corps members, parents, guardians, Corps employers and Corps members, should be strongly advised to beware of the activities of these persons whose intent is to defraud them of their resources.

“In addition, there are up-to-date information on the programmes and activities of the NYSC, which can guide Members of the public on the authenticity and verification of all activities of the Scheme on NYSC Social Media platforms namely; OFFICIALNYSC on Facebook, OFFICIALNYSCNG on Twitter and Instagram, NYSCDHQ on YouTube, registration portal – WWW.NYSC.GOV.NG and website – WWW.NYSC.ORG.NG.” the statement said
