NYSC Suspends NERD Compliance for 2025 Batch C
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that it will not enforce the NERD compliance requirement for the 2025 Batch ‘C’ uploads. This update follows a recent decision by the Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD) to postpone its planned implementation date.
Earlier, the Federal Executive Council had approved 6 October 2025 as the start date for NERD compliance across relevant agencies. Following that directive, NYSC issued a circular on 7 October 2025 (reference: NYSC/DHQ/CM/M/373/VOL.3/81) instructing all Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs) to ensure that subsequent uploads were NERD-compliant.

NYSC Clarifies Current Position on NERD
With the new postponement by NERD, the NYSC management has confirmed that the compliance requirement will no longer apply to uploads for 2025 Batch ‘C’. This means CPIs can continue with their regular upload processes without integrating NERD compliance for this batch.
The NYSC added that this temporary adjustment follows official communication from the NERD Secretariat, which is expected to announce a revised implementation date in due course.
What This Means for Corps Producing Institutions
CPIs are advised to continue their registration and data upload procedures as usual. Once NERD announces a new compliance schedule, further updates will be shared with all stakeholders.
The NYSC appreciates the cooperation of schools, administrators, and prospective corps members, assuring them of its continued commitment to transparent communication and smooth mobilisation exercises.
Final Word on NERD and NYSC
The NYSC has made it clear that it will not implement NERD compliance for the current batch. Institutions and students are encouraged to stay alert for any new updates from both agencies as they prepare for subsequent mobilisation rounds.
