Prospective Corps Members Stranded As NYSC Portal Crashes

Thousands of prospective National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) members are currently stranded in Cross River State following the sudden crash of the registration portal which happened on Saturday night.

Checks showed that the portal was opened on June 8, 2024 but crashed less than 12 hours later the same day leaving those trying to enroll confused.

Two days later on 10th June 2024, the NYSC headquarters, however issued a statement of apology explaining that the portal Crash was due to “conflict on link in between NIMC access to NYSC’s database”, and led to the system disruption.

The statement reads in parts: “This is to inform all critical stakeholders of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), accredited NYSC Cyber Café Operators (CB0), 2024 batch “B’ Prospective Corps Members (PCM) and the general public that we are aware of service disruption recently experienced on our registration portal.

“We have reviewed the situation and narrowed the cause of breakdown to conflict on link in between NIMC access to our database containing sensitive user profile information and our technical crew has made additional changes to our technical infrastructure, which necessitated temporary disablement of access to batch “B”PCM registration in order to prevent further complications and technical irregularities.

“Note that no specific technical action is required of our esteemed CBOS. However, CBOS are implored to update and educate Prospective Corp Members on this development pending resolution. All 2024 batch “B’ Prospective Corps Members are hereby cautioned to desist from ascribing fault to CBOS for the delay.

“We strongly recommend that all CBOS repose the confidentiality of their access code to prevent an unauthorized use by providing an additional layer of security for their account (Additional details are available in our help center).

“While we deeply regret this incident and apologize to all affected, we shall as a Mea Culpa extend the registration period which will officially reflect on the registration portal as soon as technical issues are resolved.”

Vanguard checks showed that as at Monday evening the portal has remained inaccessible with a many prospective Corps who were yet to enroll still stranded.
