According to the statement, activities preceding the passing-out exercise began on June 23, 2026, as part of preparations for the successful completion of the service year.
The NYSC explained that the winding-up programme would feature a series of activities, including Job Advisory and Counselling (JAC) sessions organised by the scheme in collaboration with relevant agencies.
